Basically what I have is a copy of the GRTFramework(http://code.google.com/p/grtframework/), which wraps around all the WPILib stuff. The change I make is that the copy of the framework I use has been "neutered"...instead of actually calling WPILibJ, I update/read the state of a 'Robot' object that has GPIO and analog and PWM and so on.. its an emulation, but keep in mind that it doesnt simulate the actual hardware(no real sensors). I can simulate inputs but its not exactly pretty.

Very cool project, spartango. I hope you'll keep working on this some more to make it a generic cRIO emulator. It could have a cool dashboard to show the state of the 'Robot' object, and possibly even get visual. It would help a ton of people.
