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?
you have the correct module bay in the code? sidecar data cable good and plugged in? correct pwm port (in code and plugged in)
