Re: Intermittent digital signal when PWMs are used

I assume all the digital sidecar power lights are a bright solid green: batt, 5v, 6v.
The battery is fully charged.

It sounds like a low power condition, possibly a short which could be on any of the connections. The addition of PWMs might just be drawing the power lower.

We've never used more than one sidecar, nor thought of splitting functions between them.
