Re: RSL (Orange Light) Works, but not from the DSC
Yes, we have power to the sidecar. We took a multimeter out and tested some of the connections. The RSL connection seems to generate a large added resistance (probably from converting the 5v to 12v) and the entire side car works. We have been running our mecanum drive flawlessly (minus the few programming errors) for a few days now, but can never seem to get the light to turn on.

DSC: Powered, works, RSL LED blinks, PWM's function

Light: Functions when hooked directly to a 12v source or in the 12v plug on the PDB, but not from the DSC relay.

we've tried different sized wire, and flipping the light in ever possible configuration on the DSC. Nothing works.
