Re: Raw Voltage on Cypress

If I remember correctly, they want to put a 7-segment LED display (or a row of LEDs) on to indicate the kicker "power level" they're requesting of the kicker (insert >9000 reference here...), individual LEDs to give camera feedback to the driver (one LED means they're aimed too far left, one means too far right, and a center one means they're ready to kick), a single LED to indicate that the kicker leg is wound and ready to release.

The idea of using "super bright" LEDs is that the driver doesn't need to wear an annoying, clunky HUD. Rather, it will be very obvious from peripheral vision and ambient light to know what the robot's state is (different color LEDs at different positions indicate different things).
