Re: DIO vs PPM Can NI RoboReo read PPM?

Well, yes, but it isn't going to be easy. Since a PPM signal is just pulses, and the RIO can time pulse lengths and position and such, then there's no reason that it couldn't read and decode a PPM signal, but yeah, you'd have to do it manually.

If you decide to write a class to handle a PPM signal, be sure to share it!
