HS-322HD and Digital Sidecar PWM output

... does not seem to be working. The board is powered, also connected via the DB-37. The first of our two HS-322HDs is plugged into PWM port 1, and the jumper is in place. The + gets 6v, ground is 0v, but I don't know about the signal wire (I don't have an oscilloscope).

The motor jumps when first plugged in, but otherwise nothing seems to happen. When I don't set the "period multiplier" that PWM.java makes note of, the motor does not hum and/or heat up. So I'm assuming the signal is not working correctly, but perhaps it's something else.

As far as I can tell everything is plugged in correctly, and I'm using PWM.setRaw() and scrolling from 0-255 in increments of 5 with a delay of about half a second.

So, help?
