ANNOUNCING: navX MXP Robotics Navigation Sensor

[Jonathan L.]

Our team is planning to add a motor and a servo to our robot for state championships (off season). We are already using 9 of the 10 PWM channels on the roboRIO for motors and servos so we need to use one or two of the PWM channels on the navX for a motor and/or servo.

To my understanding the "IO" channels on the navX can be used for PWM (motors or servos) or Digital Input/Output by simply opening the reference to the the desired MXP channel with the appropriate VI for the desired signal type (we are using LabVIEW).

The only thing we're not sure of, is which pin on the IO ports is ground, power, and signal.

Please let us know if we are off track on any of the above.
