I did, on the other hand, sit there for hours today trying to find out why digital_io_01 wasn't working... Only to realize that I wanted rc_dig_in01

Been there, done that, chewed up two limit switches in the process...
One of the most aggravating things I have run across to date is actually an IFI stupid mistake from 2005. They threw in a while loop, looping 20,000 times, every time new data came in from the camera. This caused the code to take practically forever to execute, but somehow didn't trigger the BLROD. Commenting out the while loop fixed the problem without damaging camera communication; I wonder why it was in there in the first place?
