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 circuit breaker is immediately tripping.
The speed controller isn't powered.
The motor isn't connected to the speed controller.
We covered the majority of those grounds last night. We plan on re-checking today after school.

However, the motor is getting power, and is blinking orange.
