Why are the ports on the C++ program coding not functioning the ones on the digital sidecar? Especially with Jaguars. :ahh:

We have 6 jaguars.
When we try to use port 1 and 2, jaguars 3 and 4 are flashing. Port 1 and 2 are hooked up to our CIM motors but they work when we command to use Port 3 and 4 in the C++ coding.

A lot of teams have reported this. Have you fixed your DB37 cable according to these instructions? (http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2012_Assets/DB37%20Ribbon%20Cable%20Assembly%20-%20Rework%20Instructions.pdf)

We seem to have the same problem but it is associated with a RobotDrive error with the motor safety.

We see this when we loaded last years code. It does not happen with this year's simple template example.

Anyone else seen this error?

Remember, with this year's code, the slots are in different places. Make sure you go back through the code and reassign the appropriate slots to make it work.
