DS Digital Input/Output

[dboisvert]

Recently my team went to a competition and I asked for help with out driver station. We had purchased a few Light Switches from the local hardware store and I had no idea how to wire them properly.

So he helped me wire them properly and connect them to DS 1 and 2 on the Driver Station and now I need to figure out how to code them.

My current code looks like this

bool switch1;
switch1 = m_ds->GetDigitalIn(1);
printf("Switch Value is: %d  ", switch1);

I never got to look at the code extensively during the competition but as far as I know it printed out all 0's when the switch was in either position.


My next problem is we want to wire in a few LED's to the DS so we know what is going on with the robot

m_ds->SetDigitalOut( 1,true);

I know how to wire the led's but I need to know if this is the proper syntax to turn them on.
