Just found the manual, they set the RAM and EPROM size. My kit came with 2K Ram and a 32K EPROM.

I've been building a new Arduino robot, using the Cytron Technologies Maker Drive motor driver and Maker Line sensor boards. The aluminum chassis came from Adafruit. I used this guide. www.hackster.io/cytron-techn...
