Re: Digital inputs on old FRC

Tyler,
To be sure, you are using a pressure switch and not a pressure transducer? Both were provided as KOP supplies in some of the past years. The transducer is an analog device, while the pressure switch is a just that and is connected to a digital input. Using a PWM cable, you cut off the connector at one end, pulled back the 5 volt wire and insulated it, then attached the signal and the ground wire of the PWM cable to the switch.
