Re: Clarifying switch use on a DS

Yes, pre-ship we usually ran a switch off the DS and programmed our cRIO that way.
In the pits and on the practice field at competition we use a hub too.
Saves wear and tear on the more delicate DS ports.

A switch is much better suited to the normal abuse of connecting/disconnecting cables repeatedly.
