You mean small PIC that is located on the sensor itself so you reading analog inputs?
Silly direct straight question - do you think (or know) it will possible to connect 8x
SteelMate 14D sensors to your board? Not sure if it has analog or digital output though. Autoinstaller just recommended it as higher quality solution for practical install.
For the board USB controller chip and interface, do you think Linux kernel has prebuilt support for it already?
In terms of PIC programming - do you allow people to download source code of PIC and modify it in their test environment ? Ie, how open source it actually is - could not find answers in FAQs sorry
