The Chicklet only supports HID. It does not support HUB. We have a solution that does support HUB and other device classes however that solution was not cost effective. We wanted to keep the device affordable for FIRST Teams. Also the 15-pin joystick port does not provide enough interface to support more than one device. We have a device that outputs RS232 data instead of analog/digital. It is less expensive than the chicklet. If we had a serial port on the O/I this would have been the way to go.

About the serial port on the OI-

The OI has a radio modem port that is not used during competition. Is it a functioning serial port, or simply a hardwired deal that cannot be interfaced to run data into the competition port's data out?
