LED drivers on OI

[Andrew Schuetze]

Howdy,

I am the lead sponsor and just barely keep up with the programmers on principles of the code. We are researching options to add two LEDs to our control system so that a driver would get an indication of which drive state they are using. I.e. a linear mapping of the sticks verses a peicewise function. Our initial research finds that IFI has built in the ability to drive LEDs on ports 1 & 3 that are the same ones mapped on the OI.
As I understand it the default mapping of the OI LEDs can be customized for user defined values such as we propose. Please point out flaws in my understanding or highlight better options that you see.

A question that I have is if the joystick ports are the same why isn't there an option to drive LEDs in all four ports? Does this option already exist and I just don't realize it? Please explain as best you can to me who has a marginal understanding of the default code.

Thanks,
