@TimChenterprise Getting all the functionality into such a small code footprint was a real challenge. The value line MCU does keep the price low, so it was worth the effort! Thanks for the comments!

You guys are amazing! I'm really impressed with how you made such an intuative config. system using only the lights and switches on the launchpad PCB. I doubt I could build a servo board for twice the price. I am going to order a handful of launchpads and save on shipping and keep spares handy. Thank you for making this available!
