Re: USB and Mac Support for IFI FRC Controllers???
huh, guess I don't know, if it is an acronym. Its the main (only?) series of microchip microcontrollers though, two of which happen to be onboard our controller.

And by the way, this has been mentioned before, but with a little work and a usb stick that uses 100k pots, you can quite easily convert a usb joystick to serial. With a certain limit on buttons/axis's obviously though that usb doesn't have. but who needs 10 buttons and a pov on 1 joystick for driving a robot?
