problems with using switches for autonomous

When we ran the code, to check the values, we turned on the 'highlight execution' and saw that the only value being read is 0.

Can you describe what that code is supposed to be doing?

There are 3 Get Dig In because we are using 3 switches. We are converting the value into string then concatenating them in order to create different combination for the case selector in autonomous. That way, we can have multiple autonomous modes and switch between them between matches without re-downloading the code each time. We are using the Append T/F String.vi to convert the digital input value into string.
