Re: Digital Sidecar D-I/O's causing connection problems to Motors

I have also found many teams with metal shavings down inside the pins. Same effects you noted and the same result as Erik has outlined. With power off, use a bright light and look down inside the module. A vacuum cleaner works wonders here.
