I have linked the relevant API documents. You can use DriverStation::GetDigitalIn([number]) to get the value of the switch.

And PLEASE try to take a little more time writing your posts in the future.

the website doesnt show where in the code to put "DriverStation::GetDigitalIn"

The GetDigitalIn would be somewhere in your Teleop loop (before you need the data of course)

what data?

[Radical Pi]

The value of the switch...

how do you make the PSoC board communicate with the driver station, i plugged it in but the driver station says:

"I/O unit not detected or not installed correctly."

Did you follow the steps in section 2.11 of the control system manual for configuring the I/O module?

yes, the driver station sees it now but the driver station still shows:

"I/O unit not detected or not installed correctly."

HOW DO YOU INTRODUCE THE PSoC BOARD TO THE PROGRAM

(sorry for so much questions, but im just learning)

Does the I/O light turn green in the Diagnostcs window?

Make sure you have the latest update to the DS software (1.2 I believe). You may need to uninstall and reinstall the Cypress software through the updater

yes, it turns green now on the driver station, but im wondering, do i have to introduce it to the code in class and public, or just go ahead in teleoperated and put "DriverStation::GetDigitalIn"??

To use the DriverStation functions, you have to create a DriverStation pointer and set it with DriverStation::GetInstance(). You can then use GetDigitalIn only on the first 8 pins. The DS must also be set to Compatible I/O mode (through I/O screen). If you want to use any of the advanced functionality available through the PSoC board, the system is a bit different (will show with code)

Using DriverStation

public:
...
DriverStation *ds;
...
MyRobot() {
...
ds = DriverStation::GetInstance()
...
}

Teleop() {
...
switch = ds->GetDigitalIn(1);
...
}

Using DriverStationEnhancedIO:

Teleop() {
DriverStationEnhancedIO& dsio = DriverStation::GetInstance()->GetEnhancedIO();
...
switch = dsio.GetDigital(1);
...
}

IMO you should use the DriverStationEnhancedIO version since you can have more control over the PSoC (pulled high/pulled low, input/output, encoder support, LEDs)
