The first is the Master processor which handles radio communications, generates most of the PWM output signals, and oversees the general operations of the Robot Controller. The second microcontrollers is the User processor, and is programmable by the user. The user’s program takes the input data, determines what to do with the outputs to make the robot behave as desired, and sets the PWM and Relay outputs to the appropriate states.
It really comes down to the "Master Processor." Is that programmable? More importantly, is the code that drives it available?
