Pressure Switch Problem?

[P.Svilans]

Thanks for the speedy response!

So do we need to put a jumper on the port we attach the pressure switch to, so it acts like a servo is attached? Because before when we tried to hook it up, we already had the white and black (Sig and (-) ) wires to the pressure switch...

That sounds like you're trying to connect the switch to a PWM port. Those ports are outputs only, for servos and speed controllers. You need to wire the switch to a set of DIGITAL I/O pins on the Digital Sidecar.

Well then I really don't know what to do...We had it connected to the Digital I/O with the Sig(White), and (-)(Black). It still wouldn't work, and would cause the No Code problem on our Driver Station. We had to reimage the cRio every time we tried the pressure switch!
If anyone has any diagrams with exactly how and where every cable from the pressure switch needs to be connected then...it would be a life saver! Or at least narrow down the problems...

Ah ha! It is not possible to create a No Code error by miswiring your pressure switch (or anything else on the digital side car).

"No code" means that no user code is running on your cRIO. Try deploying the code, instead of running it. A quick search through these forums will tell you how to do that.

Well...Sorry for wasting your time!

It was a wacky problem, since I don't know why it screwed up...and...well...it works! I'm pretty happy right now...but, it works! No idea how either! I just changed the Digital I/O port to which it's hooked up to from 1 to 10 or something, and...it works!

Thanks to everyone who helped anyways! It actually made us check the wiring...
