Re: Photoeye's not working-Difference between RoboRIO and Digital Side Card?

You are not alone! We were testing our banners on the new control system and experienced the exact same thing! The similar Allen-Bradley sensors that came in the KOP in 2012 worked fine! I did find (and this is a weird observation that may or may not have anything to do with the problem) when I probed for continuity across the signal line at the roboRIO while it was plugged in, and the negative terminal the sensor was plugged into at the PDP, the sensor began functioning properly both on the meter and in code. Weird I know, but it was something I noticed.
