Re: Replacement robot controller for cRIO

To make it really simple, you could also use a vex signal splitter. It's cheap and does the job.

One more thing. If you go this direction I would strongly recommend getting the 9xr or upgrading the 9x to er9x with a ISP programmer. It will give you way more programming options.

I just started looking into all the different Turnigy options. These are especially attractive because they eliminate the need for a laptop and drivers station setup and appear to have some additional non-drive capabilities (like telling the shooter to run, controlling the compressor, etc). Can anyone with Turnigy experience comment on this and perhaps post an example of a recommended setup for an FRC robot? Our use, like many other teams, would be in keeping old robots "alive" with perhaps reduced functionality so that we can use the expensive cRIO hardware for more important projects.

They will not run a solenoid without one of these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idproduct=8833

Here's a very scientific schematic made in ms paint

Feel free to ask any questions.
