Al, it was a response ot the Q&A but with the way they worded the question they got a different rule outlawing it.

Modified PWM Signal
Posted by FRC1986 at 01/19/2009 02:26:38 pm
Is it allowed to use a modified PWM signal to control an electronic pressure regulator to control
pneumatics?
A low pass filter would be used to convert the 5v digital PWM signal into a 0-5v analog signal.

No. That would be a violation of Rule <R67>.

<R67> All outputs from sensors, custom circuits and additional electronics shall connect to only the
following:
A. Other custom circuits, or
B. PWM Out, I2C, Relay or Digital I/O ports on the Digital Sidecar, or
C. Analog In ports on the Analog Breakout.
D. Ethernet Port 2 on the cRIO Mobile Device Controller (to which the Kit Of Parts-provided
camera, and only that camera, may be connected).
