Right. The original motivation for the companion interface was my desire to have more than 2 pyro channels, which led to a companion board called TelePyro that I built prototypes of, but never flew. I ended up designing TeleMega which had the required additional pyro channels for some of my more complex projects instead. After that, my son got interested in some data collection that caused me to build a couple variations of a companion board I called TeleScience, one of which flew, and I even sold one of the prototypes to a friend to play with. But this board also did not ever go into production. I toyed with making a motor data collection board I call EasyMotor that we're about to introduce as a new product capable of being either standalone or a companion board, but after thinking about it, I decided to simplify the design and have it be standalone only. There's nothing on my horizon right now that needs the companion port, so Keith is right that it's just not on our list of active concerns right now. > There are instructions for recovering from busted firmware in the > manual, but if you're going to be hacking the code, having a programmer > is really helpful as that supports symbolic debugging and > everything.

Yes. I keep meaning to add them to our web store .. in fact, I just did that. You can find the adapter in stock now at: https://shop.gag.com/parts/swd-adapter-v2.html Enjoy! Bdale
