Re: I2C read from Raspberry Pi to RoboRio
Thanks for all the replies,

As of right now we are looking into using the serial over the RS-232 port on the roboRIO. All I've got to do is pick up some bi-directional logic level converters. Sparkfun looks like they make some good ones. I'm interested on how I'd set up the communication with pi network tables though. I assume there wouldn't be any interference between basic robot control and the transmission of data. Also, are we allowed to put an ethernet splitter on the new routers? I'm using one port obviously to connect to the roboRIO and the other for the ethernet based axis camera (just to get a field view for orientation when I'm driving). This doesn't exactly leave me any ports for the pi to connect to the router. Any ideas?
