I spoke with someone at vexlabs today, the prototype boards are available and so far, no one has purchased one. They are around $100 for the prototype board. He indicated that the program kit at radio Shack will be around $130. I asked if it was just a level converter and he indicated that is has an actual pic processor on it. He also indicated that the two chips have a boot loader for loading code. Both chips will be update-able via the loader. I was thinking about returning my system, but after finding out that the controller is PIC based and that I would update the code on the chips, I plan on keeping the system. BTW... The processors on the board are PIC 18F8520. Has anyone researched if the In circuit programming pins are available on the connectors. This may be a quick way to update the code on the controller.
