Re: digital inputs: some bad?

I haven't looked into this all that much, but we plugged the IR board into 15-18, and could not seem to get the buttons associated with 17 or 18 to register in code. We moved the signal connector to 13-16, and it worked just fine. I was busy with a lot of other things, so I chalked it up to either subtle user error or gremlins in the system, but I'm a little surprised to hear that this may be a common occurrence.

EDIT: We definitely set the pins to be inputs. Also, if I remember correctly, the RobotC debugger window wouldn't even display a value for those pins. Bizarre.
