DIP switches for autonomous modes

[McVey]

For control over autonomous as our team takes the field, we have one SPST switch (enable / disable) and one SPDT switch (offense, defense, midfield). Digital inputs with switches work fine when wired to the digital board to the cRIO, the only issue is that each individual switch requires its own PWM and slot on the digital board. All in all, our setup only requires three inputs, but still, we could be using those for other things and I fear that your DIP Switch may take up too much space on your digital board.

Of course, you've probably already accounted for that! I've had great success with physical switches though and swear by them - have at it.
