Re: Intermittent digital signal when PWMs are used

People,
You are awesome. I goofed up big time here. We were fooled by phantom power from the cRio. The DSC had wires from the distribution panel, but the wires were attached to the 5V output. Oy!

After going back to the docs, it was obvious that the DSC was miswired. We now have 12volts going to the DSC and all 3 lights are lit. I'll let you know if this fixes our intermittent line sensor.

Thank you so much. Sorry for the sloppy mistake.
