I can communicate with this no problem without the adapter with the CRIOs serial port. But then came the idea to use 2 of them. One on the turret and one on the main frame of the robot. Our last thought was to use the cypress board to read the heading and pass it in through the DIO as a binary number.
Wouldn't a GPS device utilize illegal wireless communications?
