Go to Post I'm sure there aren't a bunch of rule makers sitting in a board room discussing "What rule can we change now to mess with the teams' heads?" Lets all just sit back and enjoy the regionals! - Rick [more]

Re: UART Serial on cRIO

Shoot...

I spent a bit more time looking at the board schematics somemore after i had already posted and it looks like they are actually using the I2C interface of the chip to talk to both the Triple Axis Accelerometer - ADXL345 and the Triple Axis Magnetometer - HMC5843 both of which are sold in breakout board form by sparkfun with I2C interfaces on the board. You might be able to just skip the board you referenced above and get the breakout boards for the individual components and just hook them up directly through I2C to the Crio.

Coming from a hobbyist not and EE and someone with a little but not a ton of hardware programming experience this is just a thought.
