How can you tell the pioneers? They're the ones with the arrows in their backs.  |
What additional information are you looking for?
Currently, the output is just driving a pin high (3.3V) or low from the MSP430. Essentially, you can set it in WPILib, and it will get transferred to the HID device on the following USB poll cycle (every 20ms). I'll get my software cohort to elaborate a bit more for you guys on this.
The max a single pin can source is 10mA, and the device total is 100mA.
When I made the example panels on the wiki, I just used the indicator pins output to directly drive the LEDs. No problems so far.
