Just out of curiosity, which digital input on the OI do you have the switch(connected to the Y-cable) hooked to? Looking over the control system manual, I don't see anything that should interfere between ports 1 and 2, but just to be safe, do you have an open pin on ports 3 or 4 you could hook the switch to? That might help...
