The vision processing will be on the driver station, then whether we are lined up will be passed to the CRIO then to the Arduino which will turn on the lights. We have a bunch of addressable lights that we want to put on.
BTW, does anybody know if we are aloud to put capacitors on the strips of lights? I don't want the lights dimming when we accelerate the robot.

Code:
R72
A noise filter may be wired across motor leads or PWM leads. Such filters will not be considered CUSTOM CIRCUITS and will not be considered a violation of R53 or R71.
Acceptable signal filters must be fully insulated and must be one of the following:
A one microfarad (1 µF) or less, non-polarized, capacitor may be applied across the power leads of any motor on your ROBOT (as close to the actual motor leads as reasonably possible).
I'm not sure how exactly this would apply to a light strip, if it's allowed on a generic PWM lead it would seem to make sense that you could use it for your lights.
