Sorry for the tedious n00bie questions -- I'm not a programmer.
From your code below, I'm assuming that you use the digital input from one of the 16 analog/digital ports to store in your variable. If we want to use Ports #1 & 2 (easiest to distinguish in a hurry), I'm assuming that we would have to reconfigure these as digital inputs. Are there any caveats/disadvantages to doing this, as opposed to using ports #11-16 (already configured as digital inputs by default)?
Does your variable rc_dig_in01 have to be declared anywhere prior using it to store the results of your digital input?
If we want to read a jumper in the interrupt ports instead, what command do we use to access the input from them?

Autonomous_1();
}
else
{
printf("This is Autonomous_2\r");
Autonomous_2();
}

Finally, I'm still not seeing the advantage of switches over jumpers from this post. My mental picture of switches sees them as far more complicated than jumpers (attaching limit switches or bumpers and having to anchor them down). What am I missing?
