We are having a problem with pwm - the dashboard shows that pwm ports (on slot 4) has output while the joystick are moving, but jaguar lights keep yellow, and motor does not work as a result.

Any suggestion on troubleshooting?

2 Ideas

1) Check to make sure that the pwm cables are plugged in the correct way, there easy to get backwards.

2) Try replacing the pwn cables. I know that last year at a regional one of our motors wasn't working and replacing the cable fixed the problem

Hope this helps.

All status lights on the Digital sidecar are a bright and glowing green?

The Dashboard shows you what your code is ordering, but nothing downstream from that point.

is the motor blinking yellow or is it solid yellow?

blinking= loss of connection
solid = good
