TechHOUNDS roboRIO Expansion Board

[otherguy]

Thanks for sharing the PCB and parts list! This looks like a great little board for teams.

Looks like you put some thought into protection as well, 3 resettable fuses on board. I haven't gone through the schematic closely yet to look at everything closely, so sorry if its obvious, but would you be able to elaborate on what gyro this is designed to work with and how how it is interfaced to the roborio (serial, through arduino?)?

Has the board been sent to FIRST for approval for use in this coming season per: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...whats-the-deal

If I understand the proposed rules for the MXP correctly I think you're fine to have the active components on the board (if its not one of the 'approved' boards) as long as you don't also control output devices (like motor controllers). Correct me if I've misunderstood what they've outlined.
