Vex Library and Sample Code

Again, thanks very much, I feel like I'm at least getting closer to understanding how to program without EasyC.

arrrgh, you wouldn't believe the long insightful answer i had for you when my connection timed out...

the short answer is study the sample code and refer to the 18f8520 datasheet, (watch any ad for a prescription med on the tele for a list of possible side effects), and have a look at theEntropyWorks.com, (a fine example of good intentions and what becomes of them).

anyway, to use pin 1 for input initialize io1 = 1 and to set it to output io1 = 0. when the rc powers up all pins are set to input so that you need not worry that the attached chainsaw on your deathbot will gobble your arm before you can jump clear.

must go to work...
