Re: cRIO, has it 'upped the game'?

I predict that next year will open up a lot of functionality in the system. All those extra inputs on the Jaguar? The matching RJ-11 plug on the digital sidecar? These items together make for a very powerful control system. I expect they'll allow use of CAN next year, and that the mechanisms people build will benefit from the built in encoder inputs and limit switches on thee jaguar.

Once these features are enabled on the jaguar (and the cRIO libraries include CAN), the system will be very close to some of the (very expensive) hardware I use on a daily basis in the real world.

While you can do many of the same things on the IFI, not having to spend a week learning each complex task allows you to focus on even better parts of the cRIO, and allows entry level teams with no programming mentors to still be very competitive from the software standpoint.
