Re: Getting Driver Station Inputs on Dashboard

I think you misunderstood the question, from the Cyprus PSoC we need to count the pulses from a old rotary phone (don't ask). The phone sends pulses at approximately 25hz, and this is faster than the latency etc between the robot and the driver station. The only (obvious) way to the programmers was to go from PSoC to Robot back to driver station for display. This is slow and when our program grew in complexity, it became unreliable. So now we need to know the legality of doing this other way (using a packet sniffer on the driver station to listen to itself)
