Pixycam 2 with the Roborio and Arduino

FIRST

I have an arduino working with the pixycam 2. Now how do I go about sending the information received from the camera that is on the arduino to the roborio? Any ideas?

Do you already have the Arduino communicating with then pixy? If so you can see this thread: Using Pixy2 through arduino to roborio via usb

Basically you can plug the Arduino into the roborio via USB and then use serial to communicate.

Thanks, I will check this out

If I use serial communication would the bytes be cut off by the roborio and radio? Because the radio and DS is coming in at a constant rate.

Are you referring to the bandwidth limit (4 mb/s) for the field? That would only apply to communications over the radio so if you used Serial over USB the rate limit would not apply.
