As for power, I think the easiest way to power an arduino this year is to just plug it straight into the USB ports on the RoboRIO. This will allow an easy communication method between the 2 devices, and makes it so you do not have to solder any wiring. Just be sure if you do this to NOT power the lights off of that power supply, and instead use a separate 12v to 5v converter to power the lights. |
Cool. Thanks for everything.
