Done. You can make it an "animation" with only 1 frame which would be on, and then have that frame repeat x amount of times. Each frame/iteration takes t seconds. t is user settable variable between 250ms and 1s which is the update frequency of the PIC. So if you want it on for 10 seconds then set 10/t is the number of iterations needed.
Is this too complicated for people? I figured it would be very easy once people understand it...

You mean the digital input is fooled into thinking that the button is being pressed for x seconds when it is really only being pressed momentarily? This could cause havoc in my eyes. Why out of curiosity?

Not sure what you mean. Of course when you push the button for the digital output an onclick event is triggered and it changes the output next refresh cycle (250ms to 1s).

The temperature, photocell, and potentiometer can all do this. I dont see a need for the accelerometer other than to flash "Slow the F down crazy man" after like 10g's.

Interesting... Definately implementable... What would the benefit of this be though? That would mean a button only works if the analog input is within specs... So no volume control while the accelerometer reads more than x g's? I dunno.
Good ideas. And I am not critisizing, I just want to see where the ideas lead. I am always interested in ideas!

It will be open source.
Hack the firmware? If you want, we shall add!
But everything is done software side which is completely open source once we get it up and running.

the PC must be on in order for the device to function. That way you dont have to shut it down when you leave. Neither of these are doable in the way you might want.
If the PC is on, car is off, then yes it could theoretically start the car, but the PC will drain the battery by being on, so sort of a viscious circle!
And the PIC makes no descisions such as interpretting a WOL signal. It only gets and sets the inputs and outputs and sends it to the PC to figure out. Sorry.
