Re: Dashboard Port Decoder
An EDU-BOT RC is a great Idea. Our team has an older one, I'm not quite sure what it could do (Maybe PBASIC!) Before I completely scrap the 2003 FRC idea, I have a couple of questions. Could you set the FRC into autonumous mode so that it wouldn't need the OI? What would it take to get the FRC to interface with the Dashboard port? How would you get the EDU-BOT RC to interface with the Dashboard port? Is there any way of getting the Digital Inputs to become outputs on the FRC (I mean, they are just I/O pins on the chip, right?) I'm up for anything at this point, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jacob Komar

Revised Comments:
We have the Issac16 Edu-bot RC controller, which is programmed in PBASIC. This is perfect for what we are looking to do, because we can use the tether/program port as an input, and use the relay/pwm output ports as outputs. Does anyone have an opinon on this? The information on the controller can be found in IFIs website under legacy docs.
