Re: Using Vex Brain as FRC Coprocessor

Woah, my post got merged into a new thread. (I guess someone was expecting this topic to come up?)

Interfacing to the Vex controller shouldn't be hard at all. I haven't been able to play with my kit much since I bought it, but I have been able to interface the cmucam with the vex programming module and a male to male 9 pin serial cable. This setup could probably be become less bulky, as I'm pretty sure the only thing in the programming module box is an TTL->RSR232 converter chip like the one we get in the FRC kop.

Anyway, code to run this coproccesor shouldn't be hard at all. If theres enough support, and Mr. Watson permits me to use his serial driver (what a beautiful piece of software that is..), I should be able to get something released soon.
