Re: Team Update 4

It does have a direct contradiction to an earlier Q&A post:

Quote:
The serial port on the cRIO and the I2C port on the Digital Sidecar are not available for use this year. Nothing can be connected to these ports.
And the new update says it's OK to hook sensors and custom circuits to:

Quote:
E.Digital Sidecar PWM Out, I2C, Relay or Digital I/O ports,
While it's not a rule change, it does appear to be a policy change. Not to mention that the Q&A answer forbidding use of the I2C is still up.
