Re: Cypress Enhanced IO

The limitation is really in the custom hardware before the laptop, e.g., Cypress, Launchpad, etc. for processing the A/B transitions.

Why not use an Arduino or similar to handle your quad inputs and send the results to the laptop via USB?
You can write your own Dashboard code to take the input and optionally do additional processing or just send the results to the robot.

It requires more work, but it should be possible to implement your own interface to the old Cypress board if you desire.
