I haven't hit 255 on the OI analog inputs though.
Any 255 set in the user code is converted by the Master to a 254 before it goes anywhere. So using 255 doesn't cause any harm, but it really becomes a 254 as soon as you hand it off via Putdata().

You'll never see an OI value of 255 arrive at your user code, no matter how hard you try.
