Re: Digital Inputs + Auton?

Rebecca,

For the most part, your switches look good. I assume (the connection is slightly off picture) that the commons on the switches are tied to ground (to the black wire on the PWM cable in the SW1 position).

Byteit101's comment is not appropriate and your wiring should work.

The resistors referenced by Brandon are 10K pull-ups and are internal to the sidecar (schematic). You do not need to add more.

Other than something very weird such as a bad DS or the DS not getting power, I would concentrate on software.

Unfortunately, my team is using Labview and I have not played with this year's C++ at all...

Good Luck,

Mike
