Re: paper: Driver Station Encoder Support using the TI LaunchPad
I do not know if the HID data is transmitted from the driver station to the dashboard but I do not think it is. What are you planning on using the encoders for?

Another way you can consider for transmitting the data is to use serial on the dashboard and keep the HID to the driver station. The LaunchPad has a USB hub, so the debugger chip can also act as a USB <--> Serial bridge, and you can look at both the HID and the serial stream at the same time. You will just need to write software on the dashboard to detect and decode the serial stream.
