Re: Problem with jaguar's "loss of servo link"
Can you take a picture of your electronics board and wiring?

There are a number of things I can think of, any one of which could cause the problem.

You didn't enable the robot on the driver station
You didn't plug the PWM cables from the jaguar to the digital sidecar PWM ports
You didn't power the digital sidecar
The digital sidecar isn't plugged into the digital module in slot 4 of the cRIO
You have the PWM cables plugged in backwards. B is for black wire.
You have the PWM cables plugged into the wrong PWM ports on the digital sidecar.

The flash rate of the green LED next to the RSL may be a clue. What pattern is it flashing?
