Re: PIC microcontroller mappings?

Thanks!
If I am not mistaken, the robot controller is really two PIC processors with one shell casing. The pins you see outside represent a superset of the two processors, with the caveat that the pins tied to the master processor have an inherent latency governed by the cross communication taking place between the two using FRC software. As a FIRST developer your software lives in one of the processors and so you only have direct control over the pins wired to that processor. The other ones are "remote" pins.
