OOPS... you are correct but it's almost a moot point since as D235J pointed out... the PWMs are disabled. (I just assumed it was true since things I've wanted to test in autonomous always involved PWMs.) I'm not sure I understand their logic in this since it IS going to lead to some confusion but hey OK... I can live with that. I guess I overstated my case but the bottom line is you still need to connect pin 8 to pin 5 to get the full autonomous to work. I need to re-read all the documentation... just as soon as the build is over and I recover from my customary collapse.

Thanks for the catch d235j.
