In the attached, I believe the Buttons are the 5-element Slider on the board itself, and the LEDs are shown.

Thanks, I was hoping for more I/O. Maybe Dale's device will help.

Looks good. Thanks for the information. I wish that the site had shipping cost information. That's always an issue for Hawaii teams. Five dollars for an item and $40 shipping.

I'm very curious what you're doing that you need more I/O than the Cypress gives you. Perhaps I can help you figure out how to use more of the I/O on the Cypress board to accomplish what you need.

Greetings from eStop Robotics!

Many thanks to Dale for suggesting our new product the CCI (Custom Controls Interface)!!!

As far as shipping costs go, we ship USPS flat rate boxes. Shipping to HI or any other State is about $5 for the smallest box, 10$ for the next size up. We're in PA, USPS will get it to HI in 4 days.

The CCI has 12 digital inputs and 4 analog inputs. No special SW or drivers to install. It works with your Driver Station PC out of the box. Your cRio programming is also no different than using a joystick, the same functions are used for the CCI as a regular joystick.

Good Luck to all the teams!!!

And to add to that, I entered our order from E-Stop yesterday (Sunday) and it was packaged that night going out in Monday's mail!

We have quite a few autonomous and operational modes. We are looking at driving a LED for each mode. Once the Control team and Drive team agree on what we want we'll have a real requirement. At this point, I think that we might exceed the basic 16 DIO. If we have a real requirement for more, I'll take you up on for offer. As of know we'll wait and see what the kids come up with.

Thanks for the information. I love people who use USPS. So many sites only will use 2nd day air to ship to us.
I'm going to order one just to have in my personal tool box.

We store our autonomous modes as an enum, and display that on the dashboard and/or the user messages on the driver station. I think we're limited to 255 that way.

I tried reprogramming the device again last night. Here is the error I'm getting:

"The hex file was built for silicon revision ES2, but the acquired device is revision ES1. Use PSoC Creator to generate a hex file for the proper device."

I downloaded the source code, but I having yet to get it to compile - many errors, lack of time.

The IO module configuration document mentions a FRC_IO_v1.hex, but that did not come on our Classmate Image. FIRST Forge only has v2 for download. Does anyone have v1 available?

v1 was also for the ES2 silicon. I suggest you contact Cypress to get your board replaced. I'm not sure if they ever (meant to have) shipped ES1 processors.
