Detecting digital inputs

At the San Diego regional, we had a digital sidecar fail on us. We replaced it with another one from spare parts, and our autonomous mode and frisbee detection failed in the next match. Upon inspection of the replacement sidecar, we found that a capacitor leading to the digital inputs was destroyed, and we were unable to receive any digital signals. For safety reasons, I don't want autonomous to run out of control when our encoders return a constant 0. Is there any protection we can do in software? Put a jumper on one of the inputs and check for that? Any ideas are appreciated.
