I echo that sentiment many times over. Our team had been using the Cypress chip and it wasn't that the chip was hard to use, but with the extra programming and firmware, it was just more of a pain. I'm really a huge fan of the eStop board and used it all last season (and will again this season). It programs exactly like a joystick, which makes it really easy. Plus, if anything were to happen to the board, I could have substituted a joystick in a pinch. (although the little board did not / would not break).
