Known Problems with the Kits
- COM2 may not work properly with Simulink/XPC Target
- Analog outputs inverted and not quite scaled 1:1 (5V commanded out is actually approximately -4.5V) - read this
- Digital outputs are open collector circuits -- although not a problem, can be confusing, like the analog outputs - read this too
