The sensor has 2 output formats: I2C and PWM. I have tested via I2C and it works great. To use PWM, you'd need to create a low-pass filter to smooth the output which could then be read by the roboRio analog input.
I will be coding up a Java Class this week to interface with I2C on the roboRio, which I'd be happy to share.
