Re: Using the TI LaunchPad from your KoP

The plan now is to have a second LP, with some static animations built in. Then ..... the first LaunchPad can map to specific animations. The second option would reduce the software complexity from the drivers station, but both can exist at the same time to simplify loading firmware.
Since you're blazing the trail here, I'd love to hear any feedback you might have.

It sounds like you are talking about the exact same thing I was going to try to pull off. I am NOT a coding Guru, but just a decent Hack.
The second option you mentioned above is exactly what we will be doing except the second processor will be an Arduino, cuz I have that working already and know how to make it dance!
