 In order to provide useful feedback to the drivers and spectators, the RoboRio will have to tell the arduino to change color or blink patterns.  If only a few patterns are needed, we can select these by changing the state of one or more Digitial Output wires from the rio, connected to digital inputs on the arduino.  If many complex patttern choices are needed, we'll change to a TTL or USB serial port for communication. In order to provide useful feedback to the drivers and spectators, the RoboRio will have to tell the arduino to change color or blink patterns.  If only a few patterns are needed, we can select these by changing the state of one or more Digitial Output wires from the rio, connected to digital inputs on the arduino.  If many complex patttern choices are needed, we'll change to a TTL or USB serial port for communication.

 +====== Finished Hardware ======
  
 +Here's the fully wired hardware.
 +The arduino uno is on the bottom, with the custom wiring all
 +located on the protoshield board.
 +We decided not to use DIO pins to signal from the RoboRIO to the arduino, instead we planned to use
 +the USB port.

 +But this arduino project never actually made it onto the robot.  Not enough time was allowed for integrating the arduino code with the RoboRIO code.
