Some further edits or clarifications for those that are reading this:
- On slide 7 the UART being 5V is a warning. However, the UART (on MXP port) is the connection to use with Arduino, Pi, etc. The warning is for the 9V RS-232.
- There is a new radio required this coming year (OM5P-AN).
- On slide 24, it is said that you need to connect CAN if you want current-related data. It is required to connect CAN to the PDP period. This is how battery voltage shows up on the DS and I believe a robot will not pass inspection without it.
- New CTRE magnetic encoder was part of the beta program. It plugs directly into the Talon SRX and can be used for both relative and absolute positioning simultaneously.
Thanks for the updates. I'll put them in the presentation.

Mike
