Re: Robot Co-Processors

So, one thought that we (T166) had regarding the use of Arduino-based coprocessors is to use them to provide sensor input to the cRIO either via the I2C bus or via the RS-232 comm port. The intent is to offload the cRIO, have sensor inputs processed by the Arduino and made available to the cRIO upon request.

It's not driving any motors directly, will be obtaining power from the +5V PD.

Thoughts?
