Will this board be supported at some point? I believe it uses the same PIC32 used on the Max32.

Yes the Cerebot boards WILL be supported. Unlike the Arduino folks, I plan on supporting EVERY pic32 board I can get my hands on. If anyone has any favorites they want to see supported, let me know. Several companies have been very helpful sending me free boards so I can test with them.

I have a Cerebot 32MX4 board, It is fully working. Digilent is going to send me the MX7 board so I can test with it as well.

Additionally I will support every version of the Pic32 chip, not just the ones on the chipkit boards. Right now, if you know what you are doing, you can modify boards.txt and avrdude.conf to make it work with any pic32 cpu there is. Full support in the header files is included in the compiler, its all in there if anyone cares to jump off the deep end and look.

Excellent news, Mark! I've been thinking about trying the MX7 board on a robot and experimenting with some Pmods. It's an interesting board.

Thanks for all your hard work, and many thanks to everyone else working on this project too!
