How to access other Digital inputs on OI?
Hi,

I would like to be able to add some digital inputs to the operator interface. I gather there are 2 bytes of digital inputs available. Right now we have 4 joy sticks attached to the 4 ports. That gives us 8 switches, which should use only 1 byte (8 bits), right? If so, what is the best way to connect more on-off switch digital inputs to the operator interface so they can be read using the remaining 8 bits available for digital input?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
