Multithreaded programs

[biojae]

Thank you, I am making a software serial port on the sidecars io pins. I didn't want to have the bit-banging done in the main software loop , which would clutter up all the logic.

planing to use the sparkfun atomic 6dof imu on the robot next year to help with navigating the field for the touchscreen.
it communicates over serial, and we werent allowed to use the serial port this year, so i am basing my decisions on that

yes, the cRio can process sensors, but the reduction of analog cord length makes up for the 2bit loss of resolution. the IMU also computes some positioning math internally, so the cRio only has to do one conversion and then can deal with game logic
