Re: Beta testers: Is anyone creating a HAL implementation for the cRIO?

Well, close, but not quite what I want. This year, the python wpilib will be 100% python, using ctypes to interact with the HAL library. So, to make it work for the cRio, it seems like the best way would be to implement an API compatible HAL. There are a lot of cRios out there, and I suspect for most teams they'd be useful to use for testing.
