Feedback Thread: WPILib

Several things I'd like integrated into the WPI library:

1. In "Driver Station Communication.vi", when Analog Input 8 is opened, endorse the refnum registries by setting it as "battery voltage" on the analog inputs. Perhaps even make a "battery voltage" VI that provides the voltage pre-scaled.
   
2. Make the Accelerometer VIs polymorphic to chose between the analog accelerometer and the I2C accelerometer.
   
3. Create an option on the refnum registries to get the whole array of items in that registry. While I could just open it up and modify it, I'd like it included in the WPI library by default, so I can create VIs that use this capability, and distribute them to others.
   
4. I'd also like a square wave signal generator for the digital outputs (done with the FPGA). Perhaps the inputs would be "period", "duty cycle", "# of cycles" OR "on period", "off period", "total time". Even if only two outputs per module can be used for this, I think it would be an excellent feature to encourage custom electronics.

I think all of these things would be pretty simple to implement. I can provide examples if my descriptions are unclear.
