Re: Interface Project

This would be a really cool project but there are some issues to keep in mind.

The first being price. Unless FIRST changes its policy on how much we can spend on electronics you wont have much of a budget for the rest of the robot. (Unless you plan on putting the interface outside of the robot)

Second, you mentioned that you could have different programs stored on the controller, allowing for quick changes. You should note that there isn't that much space on the controller (the base code is 24k and the limit is 32k).

You also mentioned using a calculator. There are C compilers for many of the TI series (TI-89 I know for sure to work). That shouldn't be much of a problem.
