Support Mindstorms NXT Sensors #29

Adding the NXT jack to Proxima would allow for students to use Mindstorms sensors easily. Electrically, they're I2C @ 4.3V, so we would need to run a 5V line (sensors are tolerant to 5V) and add a level shifter to bring down the signalling to 3V3 levels.

I assume that this one of those "add it in the future" plans?

hasithvm commented 9 years ago

yes, it is. I'm documenting it here for documentation purposes.
