Default Re: Homemade heated vest controller?

I'd use an atmega328
Link the ADC to a variable resistor or some sort of lo-hi-off 3 way switch, then one or two mosfets to control it through pwm

You might also want to look at arduino, it's a slightly higher level programming language. I've been using C for some diving stuff and to be honest it's giving me indigestion. By the time you've finishd you might wish you'd spent the $70... will be fun though!
