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.</div>

- so I'm interested! Can you summarize what stuff they sent you? Do you<br>
have any ideas about what you might want to do? What's the time frame for<br>
this? Am I asking too many questions? How soon is now? Perhaps a meeting<br>
sometime at the space or other establishment might be in order...<br>
