Re: Selecting Autonomous with TI LaunchPad?

We put a multiposition selector switch right on the robot. It's a 12-position dial (with a nice solid click-click-click action) and a built in LED that lights up which position is selected. Internally it is a resistor ladder so you read it as an analog input on the RoboRio. Worked very well for us. The drive team literally dials in which autonomous they want to run before each match.
