Greetings URCommunity, I am developing a C# app in which I would like to have a feedback from the robot on the state of inputs/outputs (i.e. to know every 2 seconds if the digital\_in(1) is 0 or 1). I’ve managed to get the Joint Positions as well as the Base coordinate, but I can’t seem to find anything for getting the value of an input or output. Any help is much appreciated. Best regards, Pedro Monforte ---

Hello @PMonforte What interface are you currently using to get the joint positions and base coordinates? sko ---

Hi sko, I know I was not very specific in the question, but I am quite new to this and thus have some issues explaining myself more appropriately. I have uploaded an image with the code part from which I get the Jointdata. It is through port 30013 (Real-Time interface, I think) ![g](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/universal_robots/original/2X/c/c17831dee979a73b2c792402138221bfa19bfab8.jpeg) Any help is much appreciated Best regards, Pedro Monforte ---

I believe you would just use values 86 (digital inputs) and 131 (digital outputs) similar to how you have done the rest. These would just come as a byte where each bit represents their respective Input/Output. ---

Hello @PMonforte Thank you for providing additional insights! You can get a complete overview of our available interfaces and what data they hold in the correspondent [support article](https://www.universal-robots.com/articles/ur/interface-communication/remote-control-via-tcpip/). There you can also find further documentation on the exact data streamed. ---

RTDE is the interface recommended by UR for efficiently reading data, such as inputs and outputs. Then, since you’re in C#, if you want to go fast, you can take a look at this library, which does the connection handling and binary decoding for you, and offers you named RTDE objects of the right type in C#: [https://underautomation.com/universal-robots/documentation/rtde](https://underautomation.com/universal-robots/documentation/rtde)
