Re: A request for change to next years Innovation FIRST control board/system.
Jamie is right - RS-232 is a very simple protocol, and if need be you can bit-bang it out on a couple IO pins - and lots of uP's have UARTs to handle it
but USB is very fast, very touchy, difficult to layout on a circuit card to get the required signal integrity
and it has layers and layers of communication protocol you MUST use, no matter how simple your data requirements are.
putting USB into the RC would not be a trivial change.
