BoB is Alive!
I can't imagine why I thought this was simple. I reproduced the RBBB circuit on a Radio Shack proto-board and added the extra power protection and the voltage dividers and debounce circuits needed for the MC control panel. I'm not completely finished the wiring but it got to the point where I could try a sketch and it worked. The good news is that it does fit in the allowable space on the bike so that's something.
Next steps I have to finish wiring the LCD header and the serial hookup then I should be able to port the software. Way too much trouble though. If I do another prototype I'll try out something like the mpguino or some other proto-board as a base .
