I'm glad you found the problem. I'm especially glad that you found it based on the diagnostic messages provided by the system. |
Thanks Alan!
We were tearing our hair out, wait, no, I have no hair, over this one. We had swapped out the AI module, the breakout board and the jumper with no success. We were at a loss. The I remembered seeing the diagnostics tab. "What the heck" I thought, "lets see if it says anything helpful". Duhhhhhh, error on analog input, resource already in use. "Oh man, let's look at the code again". And there it was.
It's funny, I have made a living for the last 28 years troubleshooting systems. I have found that error messages are not always helpful, but sometimes they are. I have found that familiarity with the system is your best tool. I must say though, this error message definitely was helpful.
Add this one to the lesson book.
