Re: LEDs
You may or may not have seen the LEDs we used on our robot this past season, so I don't know if what I'm talking about makes much sense out of context. We ordered a bunch of yellow LEDs being our team color and all and wired them up each separately so that each section of 3 was addressable. We arranged them in a pattern we liked on the robot and cut and soldered wire to the correct length to reach our micro controller. We used an 8052 based board that our electronics mentor made to control them. We had digital inputs in from the sidecar so that the cRIO had some input to the system. We also used an analogue pressure transducer to give a readout of our pneumatics pressure to give us visual feedback as to what we were sitting at. If I can, I will find a video of the system in action
