I have read that some teams have been able to reflash the microcontrollers on these boards. Can someone please provide some information on how to obtain the microcontroller software, the programmer, and the program cabling?
Dang! Same thing happenned to us! We were speculating that we could re-flash the PIC. ...looks like I'll go searching. Frankly we're been very "gentle" with this board, since it is a new "toy". If these problems are common, I'll have to doubt it usefulness in competition. .....we'll see
