Re: Driver Station Usb

Though, im sure if i got it working for auto, then they'd want to use it for an operator control , so an interface to the DS would be best.
what baud could be obtained through usb? HID is for the most part uni-directional, so an output pin could be used to signal auto / tele modes.
and have it dynamically update the controls.

Do you know of any cheap ethernet controllers for mcus? your last point could make it into a small dashborad Telemetry, speed and other statuses could be displayed, and have it for times not in a comp
