Re: SPI Port on Robot Controller
I've thought about this a bit and I think I decided it won't work. IIRC, the relay ports go through a buffer so that they get disabled when the RC is disabled, as they are hooked up to the user microprocessor. I doubt it is bidirectional, so I don't know if this would work.

You should be able to impliment SPI or I2C through bit-bang techniques in software and using the interrupt ports.
