Re: NEW 2009 Control System Released
I was looking at some stuff on WPI, and I'm wondering about something. Looking at the driver station, I noticed that there are some extra pins for digital input, digital output, and analog. What are these meant for? Are they meant for custom buttons and switches to control our robots?

I want to make sure I know how things are hooked up. If one end of a PWM cable goes into a Victor speed controller, where does the other end go? Does it go into the SideCar? If so, where? If not, does it go right into the analog module? What about for Spike relays? It would be really disappointing to have a well-built robot that can't do a darn thing because it's not hooked up properly.
