Re: 4-slot cRIO and default modules
Sorry about beating the dead horse but I am just curious about why the cRIO has the extra slot and the FPGA does not support it. It seems to me the extra slot is very useful especially in the 4-slot cRIO. For example, it is quite easy to run out of digital I/O channels with encoders taking 2 channels each, teams may want to stick another digital module in slot 4, for example.
Also RufflesRidge mentioned slot 4 of the 4-slot cRIO can take any modules.
