We did this last year too, but the digital inputs has been removed from the driver station this year.
So we are back to a 3-bit digital switch plugged into 3 digital ports where we read them and "assemble" the selected number chosen.
I must say that I like the idea of being able to set something in disabled mode but it is risky in case they are having trouble getting comms and are not given time to update/select the desired value. So... I guess we will stick with our old switch for now.
