Re: pic: 4143 RoboRio expansion card prototypes ordered

It is just a glue board. There are no components other than headers and sockets. You plug this in the rio. You plug an Arduino into this. It breaks out the extra rio analog I/O from the MXP connector and puts an Arduino on the i2c bus.

I know a lot of teams use an Arduino on the i2c bus for fancy light shows. Andymark has a kit for this. The timing of the LED strip protocol is strict enough that it still probably makes sense to offload that to a separate microcontroller.
