Re: What is a Cypress?
 

OK. I've managed to play around with the cypress and got it working. I used it to activated relays and PWMs on our robot and to my surprise it was a huge success. Thanks for everyone who helped!

But, I still have a few more questions:

The cypress pinout tells me there are 6 buttons on the board- one physical and 5 others in the wireless connector. How can I access the 5 other buttons and use them?

How can I connect a quad encoder and why sould I?

The axes of the accelerometer return "weird" values. How do I read them properly? For example, what value will I get for tilting it horizontally?

The touch proximity value seems to work only when the antena supplied in the kit is connected. Is there a way to make it work without it?
Also, how do I read its values properly?

I read that some of the connectors on the cypress board can be used as PWMs. How can I configure it that way in the program and on the board?

In Labview, there is a VI that allows me to set the mode of each digital channel (Set Enhanced Digital Config VI). However, I noticed you can do the same when you click the "configure" button in the I/O tab on the Driver Station.
Is there a difference whether I change it in the program or on the DS? Are they synced?


And again, thanks for all your help!
