Re: cypress I/O help

If the Driver station app is running you'll get a green I/O indicator on the tab, and inside the Diagnostics tab as well, that shows your Cypress is working.

If you push the button then and hold it, I think the whole strip of LEDs will light up.

If the Cypress is plugged in then the I/O tab will not work.
To override it and get the tab controls to work instead, you have to physically unplug the Cypress USB cable.

BTW: The tab controls only work in the default Compatibility mode. They do not work at all in Enhanced mode.
