How to attach and code fsp 8268909?

[ShaneWong]

Hi I'm from team 4732, I've been having trouble figuring out how to attach/program this button (http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDeta...8268909/830916). Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Wire one side of the switch to ground and the other to a digital input channel.

On the programming side, look at the DigitalInput class:

I was struggling for a long time trying to figure out how to program these to stop motors when pressed and if that's your plan check out this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=133983&page=4

It is hooked up to a PWM cable. You only need to wire the ground and signal (black and white, respectively) as the positive (red) wire has no use in a switch. Instead of plugging it into the PWM section of your RoboRIO, plug it into the section designated for digital inputs.

Programming side:

DigitalInput _switch1 = new DigitalInput(0);
if(_switch1.get) {
    System.out.println("Switch 1 is pressed!");
}
