Digital outputs

[Shawn HUSCO Auto]

I have had some success.  It seems like (at a minimum) I have Digital outputs 1 through 5 working as they are supposed to. It seems like something is commanding digital output 1 to stay high.  I am not sure if there is a default state setting that is not correct.  I will continue to work my code and see if I find a rouge true constant wired to that output. 

Thank you for all the help so far.

Hi Shawn,

Glad to hear you are on your way. There is no default state so you should see the last value you wrote if you have not cleared the task yet. One thing to double check is that you are writing to the proper channel and checking the correct physical channel. It can get tricky if you are using tasks since you don't actually see the physical channel in the code.

Let me know if you require any further assistance and have a great day!

I appologize in advance for my confusion, I am a basics grad only with very limited experience.  What do you mean by wiring a breakpoint?  I am not immediately familiar with this.

Hi Shawn,

Here is a link to the LabVIEW Help on breakpoints:

Basically they allow you to stop your code so you could then measure the output of the digital I/O, this would tell you if things are working properly and you are in fact seeing a "low" (~0 Volts) after you write a "false"
