That's what I was kind of thinking, just wasn't really sure and didn't know the roboRIO's digital I/O works when disabled.
This year we just have a single-colored 12v LED strip plugged into the PCM (so we can toggle it). Next year we want to do RGB LEDs. If we use an Arduino and talk to the Arduino via roboRIO's digital I/O, does it just tell the Arduino which sequence to do (and then the Arduino has the actual code for the LEDs) or does the roboRIO have to send other data?
