Re: Connections to Driver Station

What "signal" are you sending, and where are you seeing the "pulse"?

Remember that the Driver Station inputs don't have a pullup (or pulldown) resistor. You can't just connect a switch to ground (or to +5) and have it work. The input won't work reliably if left floating. You need to either switch it between ground and +5, or attach a resistor (10k or so) to +5 and use a switch to ground.
