[Robotgroup] DaVinci code and it's inspiration

[Paul Atkinson]

Don,

It is a hard coded 8-pin PIC. That was done in the interest of time. After
the 1st prototype was done, Vern suggested making a kit and making them
re-programmable. By the time we discussed that, I already had 20 PCBs etched
and drilled. (If anyone does want to re-program theirs, we could hack it and
do so.) I did start working on a version with the programming header, but it
would not fit the space constraint (AA-sized).

The Basic Stamp can do some PWM, but probably not on 3 channels
simultaneously. Looks like we have some interesting BS2 projects ahead!
