The Dios or Athena chip was pointed out because the example code is all there. It would be a good option for proto typing because of all the tools. The ability to capture and plot data are part of the environment. However, even though all the parts on a carrier board are available from digikey, it is a special PIC. A strict interpretation of last years rules would prohibit it. After the set up is debugged it's just getting the software in pic c on the robot controller. Someone out there on the form must of played with a SPI device.
WE just need some sample code of bit banging.
