Re: OI switch input duplication

So... "duplicated" means "wired together" ?

When the dipswitch is in the right position, there is no difference between pressing port 1 trigger and port 4 trigger. Is that right?

I thought I had all of the manuals, but I guess I never downloaded the OI reference. Trouble is, now I can't find any of the documentation on the new FIRST website. Anyone have a direct link to the docs?

I looked at the whitepaper/spreadsheet. It says:

"""
Disable dipswitch near the bottom of the OI, allows the
disabling of trigger and thumb buttons for ports 1 + 3,
meaning that only the "same as" switches on ports 2 + 4
control the port 1 + 3 trigger, thumb, and aux buttons
"""

So, flipping the dipswitch will make it so that only port 4 controls the value of p1_sw_trig?

Does anyone have a "for example" of how you might use this?

Thanks for your time.
