WHEN WE last left<\/a> our hero the Pmod JSTK<\/a>, he had just encountered a rather eccentric creature in the swamplands known as the Digilent Kitchen Sink. The creature had introduced itself, and regaled the young Pmod with a tale of corruption and darkness that went far beyond typical teen angst.<\/p>\n

Afterwards,\u00a0Pmod R2R<\/a>\u00a0had taken him in as his pupil, and they began his training, aimed to combat the growing evil and restore balance to the universe.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0soon Pmod JSTK<\/a> began to see disturbing flashes of light that seemed to be coming from a Pmod OLEDrgb.<\/a> Premonitions of\u00a0an alarming scene danced upon the 96 x 64 pixel\u00a0display, depicting his friends in danger.<\/p>\n

Against the wishes of Pmod R2R,<\/a> Pmod JSTK<\/a> abandoned his training to save his companions. But unbeknownst to our hero, he was being pursued and trapped\u00a0by none other than the Pmod DA4.<\/a> It seems that in the midst of the galactic turmoil, there had been whispers heard of “another” evolved Pmod, said to be emerging soon. Pmod DA4<\/a>, intent on being the most advanced\u00a0Pmod in the galaxy intended to capture Pmod JSTK<\/a>, and suspend him in development before he could ever\u00a0become\u00a0the rumored Pmod JSTK2.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pmod DA4<\/a> had tested his suspension\/freezing method on a close friend of JSTK’s<\/a>, the Pmod CON3.<\/a> Then he turned the poor Pmod over to his bounty hunting arch-rival: Pmod HB3. Pmod HB3<\/a> and Pmod CON3<\/a> had long been in competition over who was the better choice for motor and servo control, with HB3<\/a>‘s usual advantage being unparalleled power. And in this situation, despite Pmod CON3 <\/a>allowing for more precision control, Pmod HB3 <\/a>clearly had the upper hand.\"20160720_144356-e1469051804855-455x600\"<\/p>\n

Pmod HB3 <\/a>proceeded to deliver the captive to the notorious criminal, Jericho the Hutt in return for a\u00a0bounty.<\/p>\n

Blinded by youthful exuberance and fear from the vision, the Pmod JSTK rushed directly into DA4<\/a>‘s trap hoping to\u00a0rescue\u00a0his endangered companions. DA4\u00a0<\/a>confronted him, and they engage in a duel in which the powerful Pmod DA4<\/a> injures JSTK.\u00a0DA4<\/a> then reveals to the beaten board that they are actually connected by their shared SPI <\/a>protocol<\/a>, and that since they are in the same Pmod family, JSTK’s<\/a>\u00a0evil destiny is inevitable.<\/p>\n

Pmod JSTK <\/a>rejects this notion outright, and makes his escape from DA4<\/a>. Despite his disturbing discovery, he bravely\u00a0puts aside his fears and set his sights on rescuing his friends.<\/p>\n

Can Pmod JSTK <\/a>do it? Or will he burn out under the\u00a0pressure? Make sure to stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion of Pmod Wars, <\/a>releasing tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. PST!<\/em><\/p>\n
