Our team is new to the Enhanced I/O through Cypress. I have done everything to spec in setting it up except one thing; when I tried to load the 2012.hex onto the module it said fail in the lower right hand corner (where it says connected) so I used the 2009.hex and it loaded fine. The DS reconized it and I have full suport on the DS of all the functions that are native.

When I loaded my code onto the robot I am using Cypress to get a button value. Here's where I need help:
Initilized:

Code:

    public class RobotClass extends IterativeRobot {
        Relay Feed = new Relay(2);
        DriverStationEnhancedIO Cypress = DriverStation.getInstance().getEnhancedIO();

Teleop:

Code:

if (Cypress.getButton(2) ) {
                Feed.setDirection(Relay.Direction.kForward);
            } else if (Cypress.getButton(3)) {
                Feed.setDirection(Relay.Direction.kReverse);
            } else {
                Feed.set(Relay.Value.kOff);

Netbeans wants me to sorround the teleop portion of code with a try - catch statement:

Code:

        try {
            if(Cypress.getButton(2) ) {
                    Feed.setDirection(Relay.Direction.kForward);
                } else if (Cypress.getButton(3)) {
                    Feed.setDirection(Relay.Direction.kReverse);
                } else {
                    Feed.set(Relay.Value.kOff);
            }
        } catch (EnhancedIOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

Is the try - catch the correct way to do this? It doesnt seem right. If it isn't, what is the correct way to do this?
Thanks,
