Re: DIP switches for autonomous modes
 

Team 1351 uses our driver station to choose autonomous instead of wiring anything for our DSC. The switches on the I/O tab have buttons on it where the programmers map different autonomous modes to it. So as soon as we open up the laptop at the Driver Station we just go to that tab and click on one of the Digital Inputs. It's been working great especially moving between zones we are able to choose which autonomous we want.

Hmm, I had an impression that I cannot read anything from the DS during autonomous. Am I wrong? Or may be you are reading it during RobotInit? What's the rule on this?

The DS now latches the last inputs before autonomous. So you can read them anytime during auto an they will be the same. In previous years you had to read your switches in disable and save them in a variable before auto.
