Go to Post Although you will see lot's of people complain about parts (sometimes that includes me) all of us are held to the same constraints. That's what makes this so much fun. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

From my CS 2413 Data Structures Prof
"For every one line of code there are ten lines for error checking"

Also The concept of Magic smoke must be modified to suit the computer. Since motors are phsyical they relase phsyical smoke. Software is not physical but more 0's and 1's they leave differnt kinds of residue. More like dangling pointers and non deallocated memory left during the development process of your dynamicaly allocated doubly linked list class for 2413. These little nuggets of fun left by your software can lead to file system corruption. From my CS 2382 Discrete Mathamatics Prof "One of the most costly and dangerous operations in computers is alocating memory"

So in terms of the InnovationFIRST controller, not as much "smoke" as does other ways. But the use of the term software and talking about the the Fun leftovers of software you gotta go into more advaced software.
