You would have to hack together a connection from roborio > Hero anyway, why not take a gadgeteer cable (which is the same as a talon encoder cable) cut one end off and put .1 connectors on it to hook to the digital out on roborio?

You could definitely do that too. Sorry, just didn't think about it. Much simpler too.

In fact, these breakouts might make it easier: http://www.ctr-electronics.com/breakoutmodule.html
