Useing a external imput on your control board?

[morg102]

Is it possable to use a imput other then your two joysticks? If so how would i add that to your program. We are thinking of useing a switch or a dongle insted of haveing buttons that could be accadentaly pressed when the joysticks are in opperation. Any help would be appretatied.

The Driver Station has pins on the right side. Some of them are digital inputs. Details are in Chapter 3 Component Data Sheets of the Control System Manual (available at http://www.usfirst.org/frccontrolsystem). Look at the Driver Station palette in LabVIEW to find the VI that can read those inputs. What kind of switch do you want to connect?
