Re: Can we run 2015 code on [ [RoboRIO | cRIO] + old electronics ]?

We can run 2015 LabVIEW code on the older cRIO 4-slot system.

We can't mix some old electronics with the new roboRIO, e.g., the roboRIO won't drive a Digital Sidecar, and the standard software to drive pneumatics from a roboRIO depend on having a PCM tethered by CAN to the roboRIO.
There are some work arounds for running pneumatics the old way from the roboRIO.

The Power Distribution works for both, just don't wire the roboRIO into the 24v output.
