If you are trying to get data from a Pi to an Arduino at a reasonably fast rate. Use USB. The Arduino has built-in USB as does the PI. USB is great because it is a balanced, differential signal. It is way-faster then you need for this purpose.It is also very easy to use from the software i

Good day gents. Trying to get a handle on sinusoidal commutatation. I need 2 pins 0-5 volt 120 degrees out of phase to commutate my drive . http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/bldc.9.html#OPERATING%20MODES I find this in the docs , and am curious if the 7i90 can be coaxed to do this and I do
