[dms-discuss] Project Idea: National Instruments & Linkbot

[Graham Ryland]

Thanks Steve!

NI just sent us a myRIO with some software and cables. We're trying to show
NI that the Linkbot is a valuable addition to the myRIO hardware ecosystem.
There are two immediate hurdles that I can see. The first is data
communication. The myRIO has a USB port that could potentially connect to
the Linkbot, but more likely you'd just connect over I2C. Second is writing
some kind of SubVI that exposes Linkbot functionality in LabView.

What do you think?
Graham
