Motor control isnt working

hello, i have got another question. i have our movement working with a tank control vi, but im trying to run a fisher price motor for our arm, and the code isnt working. it seems like it should since i am pretty much using the motor control example on the examples. eventually i want to be able to change the speed value with a button, but that is not important right now, because i just want to set the motor to a speed value of 0 and iv been checking for a solid yellow light instead of the blinking one for a loss of data link. i looked around and it seems i might need a small 6v jumper for the motor, but i was having this same program trying to use the motor control program on the drive system, but when i switched to using the tank control vi it worked fine. i dont think i can use that vi since i am only using one motor and its not going to be controlled with a joystick.

here is a sample of my code.

sorry for the wall of text.
