This is meant to replace the pot in an audio control, but you could probably use it for your purposes.

I'd imagine right now you wish you were a cuttlefish...
PICs are awesome, so you'll probably end up buying/making a programmer eventually, so why not now? What are the details of the functionality you want and i can tell you how hard it would be to do with a PIC
What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.

ok here is what i want:
a button that turns on a small 12v pum and begins 32 leds strobing at 60hz
one buton which increases the strobing by 1hz
on button which decreases the strobing by 1hz
the first button when pressed while on turns whole system off
possible?
btw does anyone know of any easy/cheap PIC programmers i could build myself?

you could do that with a pic easier than pie.
i highly reccomend finding a pic that has a 4 or 8 mhz internal oscillator, its so much easier than having to worry about a separate osc. and caps.
also, spending the 40 or so bucks to get a usb ICD2 or something similar is well worth the investment if you plan to use pics often.

theres a random cheapish one i found, but you can definitely go cheaper. the one i am using is just a tiny bare board.
