Subject: Raspberry Pi and NI 6009

John,

Why not just use an actual NXT brick? Needs to have a network connection? According to http://sine.ni.com/cs/app/doc/p/id/cs-12501, it's an ARM7 and you can add your own I2C based I/O. The brick is ~$150 on line and as you've noted, it runs LV. So it comes down to the chances of designing successfully your own I2C based "14-Bit, 48 kS/s DAQ" - versus the chances NI makes a version of LV that can execute on the Pi under Ubuntu - and the Linux driver for the 6009.

I know, both probabilities are zero. But if I were to hazard a guess as to which one was slightly greater than zero...

Best Regards,

Joe
