Re: Legality of Arduino Programming
This has already been stated, but yes, Arduinos can be used as co-processors on the robot. You mentioned using the Arduino to control LEDs. This was the system we used to control our AdaFruit lights this year. We had a simple C program that was wipped up by one of the members to respond to a few robot inputs and output the robot state in LED form for our drivers(We just used a few Digital outs and ran them to a few Arduino pins).
We briefly discussed using the serial port on the cRIO for this, but we decided a few lost outputs compensated for the removed protocol pain.
If you are familiar with Java, C is not that different. Also, why is the FRC support of a language important to you?
I hope this helps.
