Connections to Driver Station

I'm trying to hook up LED's and switches to the input and output of the driver station. When we send the signal to input it gives us a pulse. Any solutions?

Re: Connections to Driver Station

What "signal" are you sending, and where are you seeing the "pulse"?

Remember that the Driver Station inputs don't have a pullup (or pulldown) resistor. You can't just connect a switch to ground (or to +5) and have it work. The input won't work reliably if left floating. You need to either switch it between ground and +5, or attach a resistor (10k or so) to +5 and use a switch to ground.
