Re: Arduino with control system
That depends.
No, you cannot use the Arduino, or any other device other than a cRIO, to receive commands from the FMS and to issue commands to the motor controllers, etc.
Yes, you can use another controller board (or PC) to do things like interface sensors to the cRIO, perform vision processing, etc. But it needs to feed it's information to the cRIO, which then needs to issue the commands out to the rest of the robot. This is for safety reasons, as the FPGA in the cRIO contains the disable logic to shut your robot down if the FMS needs to shut it down.
