I've heard some about I2C, I've used it before (not in FRC) but it seems overkill just to send a few bytes.

Bit banging? It's possible. No experience there though. Might be a bit too slow (as far as I know there is no way to get time from the cRIO in increments <1ms).

Thanks guys!
Depends on what you want to send.....but you could just use DIO
