Watchdog Not Fed

[Alan Anderson]

There's something very strange about that code. You're apparently trying to read photosensor outputs using Solenoid Get? That won't work. The photosensor signals should go to Digital I/O pins on the Digital Sidecar, and you should read them using a DIO Get.

Here it says we can wire photosensor to Solenoid Breakout!

You can wire the photosensor power wires (brown to plus, blue to common) to the output of a Solenoid Breakout connected to the 24 volt cRIO supply. If you do that, you will have to turn the solenoid output on in order to power the sensor.

The photosensor signal wires (black or white) still need to be read using a Digital Input.

I was wondering will my watchdog code work?
