Re: Using Vex Brain as FRC Coprocessor
Why do you need a coprocessor. Why would you want to spend 150$ just for a PIC coprocessor. What are you trying to do that the FRC can't handle. I could see a coprocessor if you wanted to use a sensor that was I2C or SPI. If you needed fast floating point math. If you wanted to play with machine vision. The Vex Modula would not be a good fit for these purposes. Either it's way to much $ or not powerful enough. There are several chip and carrier solutions on the market that would be easier and more cost effective.
