The basic user interface is simple. There is a next key and a select key and two function keys. you navigate the menus by hitting the next key and reading the display. PWM tests, Spike tests, Encoders, etc. When you get to the one you want you press select. If you select an option like encoders where there are a lot of different function a sub menu comes up and you select again. The two extra function keys are not used until you are running a test. There is also a knob that controls features that require analog control.

The students should have a first version of the users manual ready soon and i will ask them to post it. That should answer a lot of questions. But new functions are still getting added. I think you may be surprised how much it can do.

By the way, we are not sure about quantities and price yet. We think we may need to charge about $150 each for these. It would be interesting to know if we are likely to sell many at that price.

Also, at some point we also plan to distribute a copy of the code, schematics, etc. that should allow teams to write their own functions.

Almost forgot to mention. We will be showing this at the Gladstone Robotics First Fare. Chiefdelphi.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=53
