Re: Working with the PSoC
I'll probably create a custom circuit board using DipTrace, and designing an ethernet port into it. I'll probably have to talk to my team's programmer on setting up a command conversion tool.

Re: Working with the PSoC
The only rules for custom electronics are that the circuit cannot interfere with another teams robot in any way, shape, or form. that and the electronics cannot be outside of the robots footprint.

Re: LabView and Vex. Are they compatable?
This is what I would try:
1. Write the base program in LabView.
2. Write a translation DLL in C or C++
3. Include the DLL in LabView.
4. Download the program into a memory module
5. Hook up the...

Re: Programming the PSoC
you only have to attach the PSoC to the classmate if you want to program in extra buttons. You can, however, use it on the robot with custom circutry and software, if you want.
