Yes.

If it's blinking slowly, the robot is communicating but disabled. When the robot is enabled, it will be on steady with a very brief flicker off every second or two.
It is acting normally, in that it is slowly flashing when disabled and mostly on when enabled.

slot 1: analog

slot 2: digital

slot 3: solenoid

Once put it in slot 2 the jaguars were responding. Hope this helps!
Yea, it's in slot 2. The imaging tool bugged us about this, so we re-ordered the modules and all of them should be in the correct positions.
