Re: Driver Station Digital Input
Jeremy,
Lucky for you that this input is somewhat fault tolerant. Use an ohmmeter to determine the pin arrangement on your switch. Connect one pole to +5, the other pole to ground and the common to the signal pin. Mike

Re: Driver Station Digital Input
Use a 10 k resistor to tie the signal to +5 volts, rather than directly to signal. In theory it shouldn't matter but the resistor is the common industry standard way, because it ensures that errors won't cause damage. You can even connect the +5 to signal through the 10 k resistor and just short the signal to ground with the switch...with impunity!
