class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot
{
DigitalInput *switch1;
}

public:
RobotDemo(void):
{
switch1 = new DigitalInput(4,2);//4 is the modual in cRio and 2 the input port
}


that is initializing it but you need to do the rest. you will get a 1 or 0 and need to declare a bool variable to take the number from it in the form

variable = switch1->Get();
or
use switch1->Get() in your conditional


hope it helps
