IT WORKED! HUZZAH!! I wish yall could have seen my reaction
I think my issue earlier was that the power cable from the cRIO to the Power Distribytion Board is.. less than reliable. However this time I was able to MAKE SURE nothing happened, so I didn't lose connection to the cRIO, so it worked flawlessly
I was able to note which buttons corresponded to which "Buttons" in LabVIEW via the LED Lights vi.
Thank yall very much for the help (and patience). I really do appreciate it
