Using GPIO pins on Digital Sidecar

Okay . . . So, what we need to do is trigger a trunk latch through Lab View. We were thinking that using the GPIO pins on the digital side car might be the best way to do this, but we haven't been able to figure out exactly how to do that.

(we've searched the forum, but haven't found answers that we could understand and/or make work)

This latch we're triggering also has a 'signal' line which is connected to a switch that engages when the latch is triggered that we wanted to send that to the dash board so the drive team could tell when the latch had engaged.

Thanks!
