IR Board Programming/Wiring Problems

[Ryan O]

Alright, so we connected the power inputs to a 12v 20 amp supply, just like the RC. on the bench, it worked fine, and default code lit up the switch LEDs on the OI when each was pressed, along with the LED on the IR itself. Now, only the LEDs on the IR light up as they are supposed to. the problem is the RC regonizing the signal. On teh bench, we hooked up only the signal wire the the "white" pin on the RC, and it worked. We never got the chance to test it on the robot itself. We got the code upgrade first thing at comp, and then tested things, which is when we found out it wasn't working.

So, the exact way we hooked up the signals is one pwm for the first three, (one signal per line, put across the three signal pins), and a single signal on another pwm, put in normally, without anything hooked up to the red and black wires. Once again, this setup had been tested on the bench. Maybe we connected to two unused wires, cleaning up the wiring, but even disconnecting these didn't change anything.

I'm really confused about the output. I might expect the input wired differently to be different, but input three wass the loner, not four. Also, it doeesn't matter which is which at this point, because they don't change at all. At comp, we got a couple to flicker once and while, but three was always one, and it was always for a very short time before going back to 0,0,1,0
