Re: Dashboard communication ports

Thanks! The ability to send Dashboard user data to the robot was our (hopeful) interpretation but the Update #7 Rule 75 change makes this possibility very clear. This is a big change allowing much more user & driver interaction possibilities where we are no longer constrained/limited to physical USB HID components.

<R75> The Driver Station software provided on the FRC website (www.usfirst.org/frc/kitofparts) is the only tool permitted to specify and communicate the operating mode (i.e. Auto/Teleop) and operating state (enable/disable) and collate driver/operator inputs and communicate them to the ROBOT. The Driver Station software must be revision 01.05.11.00 or newer.
