Re: I2C read from Raspberry Pi to RoboRio
The issue that you are running into is that both the RoboRIO and the Pi are I2C masters. I'm pretty sure that the RoboRIO can't be run in slave mode, and doing a bit of research it looks like the Pi has trouble being a slave. It looks like the Pi 2 has the pins to be a slave, but I couldn't find any instructions on how to set it up. You might be able to with more research time however.
