Go to Post Do not treat Vex and FLL as inferior because they may not get as much exposure as FRC on these boards. Just remember, FLL has seven times more teams than FRC from twenty additional countries. - artdutra04 [more]

Re: Cypress / LED / LabVIEW - it works - right?

Last year - In our setup, we used the Classmate's IO page to show that the Cypress was plugged in and then I haven't bothered to look at the values once we had things working.

If you could confirms something for me - you indicated that if the cypress is set on the classmate to 'compatibility' mode, then, if our team causes a DO (digital output) to be "on"/"high"/etc. - that the classmate's corresponding DO will be lighted? If so, that's a great diagnostic item. For us, when I say an LED turns on or off, I'm speaking of LEDs that we wire up to the Cypress Carrier Board (from andymark.com). I remember last year that we wired them up wrong and then corrected it. So, I'll check that as well.

For your last question, I need to revisit the students with the information provided in this thread because I can't answer you as to how/why the LEDs are not working the way we intended. I'll get more information tonight and post again.

I can tell you though that for all the INPUTS (analog and digital) - the Cypress unit works fine. So, I think it's our collective lack of knowledge that is hurting us in regards to the LEDs.
