Oh and double check the pinout. I fried the OI last year setting up the atonomous switch.

It's the same switch we have used for years, so that can't be the problem. Something on the OI or code must be set wrong, but I'm not sure what. Driver mode and disable work fine though. The RC mode reads blinking yellow (meaning auton.) but acts like it is in disabled mode even though there is "valid" code under the auton section.
