Re: a ridiculous reset button

  • Switch plugged into the wrong Digital Input - test by jumping the signal to ground (bypassing power) & watching in code
  • Switch broken - test with a multi-meter
  • Switch wire broken - test at the far end from the switch with multi-meter
  • Wrong wires/connections used - visually inspect, two outside Digital Input pins ONLY (Sig & -), no center pin (NOT pwr)
  • Code using duplicate Digital Input - test with a different Digital Input
  • Digital Sidecar not powered correctly - check for three brightly glowing power indicators
