We have not received any error messages, though, concerning the content of our code or otherwise. Could you explain in more detail what your electrical team did with the pins and channels to get the Jaguars and everything working?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not on the electrical team, but they said something about moving the pins on the digital sidecar from the jaguar down two channels. So the jaguar on channel 1 is on 3, and the jaguar on channel 2 is on 4. I really don't know what this means, but that's all I know.

It might mean that your 37-pin ribbon cable is assembled wrong. If you plug it into itself, there should be no twist. See here for details.

I know for sure that our ribbon cable is fine (we've done the plugging into itself test). My team doesn't meet again for a few days, so I won't be able to look at everything we have set up electrically. Until then, are there any other common wiring issues that I should be aware of (we are very green in the art of electricity).
We have not tried moving the Jaguar pins into different channels yet (we will look at it when we have our next meet).
