There's going to be a sub-network of DsPIC's here so we need a rock solid bridge between them and ROS. The Roboard does have RS485 but the condition of that is unknown, we tried to use it last year for the SVP but had no luck getting it working (it was a last minute thing).

So write a ROS node that can administer the RS485 network, this could be through a peripheral on a PC or on a master DsPIC that talks to the PC to ROS in some way.
