Re: how to build a VEX programming module
The work done to make a programmer is not wasted, Think about having multiple vex controllers or a laptop commanding the vex controller (similar to the botball GameBoy Xport)

Therefore a converter from Db9 -12V to +12V (CMOS) with a max232 converting to 0-5V TTL Phone Jack to the Serial Port is very useful.

According to the Vex people (IFI) , everything with Kevin Watson's serial driver should work similar to the FIRST controller. Therefore, if someone could establish basic serial communication with the controller, new inventions are bound to come.
