Re: Jaguar issues

Double-check the 12 volt power going to your Digital Sidecar. Are its BATT, +5v, and +6v lights all bright? Does the Robot Signal Light flash appropriately for the mode (enabled/disabled) you're commanding from the Driver Station?

Motor controllers that cut out when multiple PWM signals are commanded to full reverse are a strong suggestion that your Digital Sidecar is not properly powered and is running on "leakage" from the 37-pin connector.
