The electronics could hardly be an simpler; I used a board from a previous project and modded it slightly as described in the earlier logs. Here is the effective schematic:

This board has two programming headers because this PCB needed to be able to be programmed from either the PICKIT3 or MELABs' own programmer. It complicates the visual of the schematic a bit, but it sure helped when initially programming the boards for the movie project that I made them for originally.
