Re: pic: Behold The Black Box
well be releasing the schematics and code(in the works with releasing it under GPL v2) some time after march( not that we want to keep it from teams but were all very busy with other things and don't really have time to get it all together until after LSR). the chip is a parallax propeller chip. and no it doesn't record any thing its more of an electrical / programing black box i.e. I don't care how it works or whats going on all I know Is I tell it this port is a ping sensor and it gives me a distance in inches.

and depending on how well things go this summer, you may be able to buy one(or more) of these for next season at the 50- 75ish price point(there may also be a drag and drop programing tool that develops the C code for the RC to run these things).
