Thank you, Jon. That is how I interpreted the rules as well. My concern is that the way the inspection checklist reads it sounds like the only valid use for the serial port is for CAN bus communications per R69. While the rules seem to allow the basic connection to the serial port, I'm concerned that an inspector will look at that item on the checklist and reject our bot. We used the serial port last year to feed data in a similar way, and I think I recall having a similar issue with the checklist text. I went to the Q&A and registered, but under Team Questions it tells me my request is in a pending state and doesn't let me ask a question. If I can get authorization, I will ask on the Q&A.
