Re: Programming Digital Inputs from Driver Station

I use windriver, but you might be having the same problem as I was. We had a push button switch (2 inputs) wired to the signal and ground inputs. The driver station doesn't have a "pull down" function, so the switch read 0 when pushed and output random numbers when not pushed. To fix this, you have to wire a 100k resistor between the signal and +5V connectors by the switch. Or, you can use a single pole double throw switch. Hope that helped.
