Go to Post Honestly, just when I thought FIRST had finally created an FRC game without any near universally-hated rules, they went ahead and made one in TM 1. - artdutra04 [more]

Re: Breaker Switches and Buttons to Motors

I'm still not sure what a "breaker switch" is in your description. I would normally understand it as the robot's main power switch, but that's obviously not what you're talking about. You mentioned limit switches once, so I'll assume that's what you mean.

Mark has already pointed out that you can't have two separate Motor Set functions next to each other and expect things to work, so I'll let that go for now.

With the logic in your code, the "break" input will prevent the button press from being recognized when it is True. That means you have to have a switch closed from SIG to (-) on the DIO pins in order for the button to make the motor run. How are your switches wired? There are typically three terminals on a limit switch; which terminal are you connecting to each pin on the Digital Sidecar?
