Re: New Driver Station information

Glad to hear that you are using additional safety precautions. If you have any issues actually connecting it, please ask, as I certainly don't want to see you drop a safety convention due to the new stuff.

As mentioned, I'd suggest wiring the switch to the I/O module. In your code where you feed the user watchdog, AND in the state of the switch. You could go further and actively kill the watchdog if you like. Note that I don't actually have the WPILib stuff in front of me, so I think it is kill that you'd call, but I can't be sure.
