Re: Using Custom Inputs on the Controller Board

1. The autonomous mode is disabled if the disable pin is grouned. I made a switch which allows us to enable/disable the robot as well as activate autonomous mode. We also made a dongle which allows us to change the channels the robot was using. This came in handy when we participated in a post-season competition and those running it forgot that by default the robots run on the same frequency. I don't know how many people have these, but if anyone wants instructions to make one, just send me a Private Message.

2. I know how to work digital I/O on the RC, its just on the controller board that I don't know how. In ifi_aliases.h it simply defined by a bizzare string (the trigger on the 1st joystick is defined by "rxdata.oi_swA_byte.bitselect.bit0," which comments tell us is the 5th pin on port 4 [sic] plus what I assume is ground. There are only 4 possible digital inputs defined for each port. Is this the maximum? Also, is it possible to have outputs (ie for extra leds, etc)? I know that we are allowed to use computers connected to the dashboard program this year, but is there a more streamlined way?
