I'm sure you just called them "inputs" by mistake.

Oops, we were definitely on the ouputs (the 8 sets of pins near the 'top' of the DS), I made a typo


I should also note that we hooked the LEDs to the robot's digital outputs and had great success with that. But since we want some driver feedback that isn't just a laptop on the dashboard port, we want to use the digital outputs.

Re: Digital Outputs on the Driver Station with C/C++

I believe you may have to update the dashboard to get this to take effect.
The set outputs have to be transmitted back to the DS as part of the periodic packet transmission and there might be some interdependency there.

P.S. I don't know though. I haven't played with this particular path yet.
I'll give it a try later if I can.
