According to the picture, you need to tell the Jaguar to "turn" the motor and you can't tell the Jaguar anything until you either connect a PWM cable or a CAN cable to it and have some code to tell the Jaguar how fast it should turn the motor. BTW, the blinking light tells you exactly that (that nobody is talking to the Jaguar - no connection).
