Re: Adams Coprocessor Solution
This is a really great system. Our team tried to utilize something similar with the gumstix, but ultimately we ran into too many problems to actually get it off the ground (only one person really could work with it and wasn't in the greatest of health).

Having a nice code base to turn the PIC18 into a dummy for communication with the "master" gumstix (two master controllers are better than one ;]) is a great way to help teams get started with implementing a coprocessor solution. I'll check more into this tomorrow, thanks for the information!
