OK, I didn't search. So shoot me already. Wait......
I can't believe one of my own team mentors doesn't know this.... heh. Sadly, this doesn't mean I get to take credit. As far as I know, Mr. Watson is responsible for the all the "Kevin" labeled code around FIRST parts. So much so that I default to it in advising anyone wanting to use MPLAB to program their robot, since it just works. For the version I used during Aim High, I adapted some code posted by.... Someone I can't seem to search up at the moment. It didn't have Dubya's fancy gains, offsets, and range expansion, however.

And yes, that will be the first and last time I'll refer to Mr. Watson that way. It does get a might trying giving programming workshops and noting that, no, I didn't write the code. Nor am I in possession of the kevin.org domain name. Unless Watson foolishly forgets to renew his registration by... ummm... 05:00, March 27th, 2017. Cause, yeah... I know I'd never remember something that far in the future.
