Which sensors should be used throughout the robot?

The updated firmware (it'll be loaded on your replacement board) includes the new Omnimount feature which enables vertical, horizontal and upside-down mounting, and has some reliability improvements. The addressing of the Digital IO pins has given folks some trouble, it has gaps in the address space, documented on this page. If you have details on a port that isn't working, please send that information along, too.

We're getting ready also to release new Java/C++ Libaries w/SPI support at 2Mhz, with that enhancement the measurement latencies and RoboRIO CPU usage are very low.

Which board are you are using w/the Bosch sensor? I'd like to compare the linear acceleration values it generates with those from the navX MXP. I'd agree Invensense has some work to do on accelerometer noise levels on the MPU-9250, but wasn't aware the Bosch sensor specs were that much better, am very interested to hear your findings.

Thanks,

Do we have any idea if FIRST is going to fix the FPGA bug with SPI and I2C? It was nice finding a workaround, but it would be even better if they would fix the MXP ports.
