The last piece of the puzzle

[CocnutAir]

That circuit looks nothing like picture or instructions I posted.
Bunch of components are missing. Not sure what leading connector is for.
Try and go step by step
Create components in same sequence as instructions, or do you want more detailed instructions?
Whenever you run inito problem, let me know.
When did that error message occur?
First time you tried to build circuit?
When you tried to change original circuit?
When you built a second circuit?

Let's take this in 3 strategic steps:
(1) Build circuit
(2) Assign digital inputs to two momentary inputs on emulated interfacekit (or add DIs ctly in step 1).
(3) Test

The error message occurs anytime that connector is not there, if I start the circuit with the switch, get error message.

The circuit pictured is incomplete because I wanted to show how it is routing the switch without all the other clutter, to better show that the switch is getting no "power" as you showed in your example.

[CocnutAir]

So you are saying you have found it impossible to ever add a digital input as the first component to a new circuit? You had a problem at step 1 in setting up circuit?
If that happens. Stop. Let me know, and we can resolve that specfic issue.
If you cannot build the circuit described it is pointless pursuing other problems.

[gokhotit]

you are correct on both questions..thought by putting in that connector it would be a "work around", but guess not.

[CocnutAir]

Are you able to create new projects?

Are you able to create new circuits?

What version are you running?

Other users,
Has anybody else had a problem when pressing Digital Input button on tool boxwith a clean circuit?

[gokhotit]

new projects..yes

new circuits..yes

version..5.0.19

[CocnutAir]

I tried following with 5.0.19 on my computer and with 5.0.19 from this web site:

Started FS2Phidget5.
On menu bar chose File -> New Project
( a new project with a blank circuit was created)
Clicked on Digital Input button in the Toolbox.
(a Digital Input was added to circuit).
Closed FS2Phidget.
(i.e. no problems)

Tip: Set Prompt on Save on menu option Settings.
If you subsequently get an error you can elect not to save bad data.

Did exactly as you stated in the above post. Couldnt do anything. Maybe its win7? Kept getting an error error.jpg no matter which input I selected on any card, hence the connector being the first part in any of my circuits.

[CocnutAir]

I take it, when you refer to cards, you have been adding Digital Input Phidgets.
Now try with a Digital Input Components.
One column of buttons in the Toolbox is labeled "Components" the other "Phidgets".
