Dr. Joe
We will be doing a similar approach, but a bit backward to your approach. We already have the Arduino running the US sensor and displaying the relative distance via an addressable LED strip.
Our final design will have the cRio doing the actual distance measurements, that way it can position accurately by itself, and passing the distance info to the Arduino to display info to the driver. The display may end up on the Driver's Station, or on the robot, or both. All is still TBD.
