Re: Connecting a Arduino to a cRio to control LEDs
Last year we used I2C to successfully control an Arduino.

You can see the Java command here: https://github.com/Team3574/RKellyBo...ems/Bling.java

And the Arduino code here:

https://github.com/Team3574/RKellyBo...hoot/shoot.ino

Note the address used by the cRio is 2 * the address used on the arduino.

If you choose i2c, you will also need to use the ribbon cable to connect the cRio to the digital breakout.
