Another Jaguar Issue
We are having an interesting problem. I will try to simplify as much as possible. We have an electronics board with 2 KOP Jaguars and 2 New Jaguars we received about a week ago. On our board all the indicator lights act as expected while Disabled and Enabled, i.e. all 4 Jaguars will indicate a solid/flashing green/red light when given the appropriate command. A motor hooked up to 1 of the KOP Jaguars works as expected. The same motor hooked up to either new Jaguar will not even try to turn. A multimeter measures 0V coming off the M+/M- on each of the new Jaguars while giving a command and again the led acts correctly.

So bottom line, we have confirmed that the appropriate signal and power are being applied to the new Jaguars, but no power comes out. Our thought is that there is an issue with the firmware and we will likely reload that. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
