I think I would go digital...

You have 16 Digital Input pins, many of which you are probably not using.

If I were going to put a Basic Stamp on the custom board, I think I may decide to use the 16 bits to get some data into the RC's Basic Stamp. I agree that a better way would be to go through the programming port but this is not a legal option this year.

But, in fact, we are not planning on putting an microprocessors onboard the custom board. We will have some linear stuff and some counters, etc, but nothing that requires programming.

What are others going to put on there custom boards?
