Re: Unable to control motor on cRIO test setup

The User 1 light should be flashing if you've kept the default code that does that.
It's a nice indicator from the robot side that the code is executing normally.

Have them double check the error messages. It's also good to get rid of all of those before worrying about other things. If the Drive Safety engages then the error message is the only indication that is what happened.

The non-response of the PWM indicators on the Dashboard means the code isn't commanding the PWMs to move, so there's a mismatch going on there somehow. Those indicators should move even if the Jags aren't connected, but they won't move if the game controller isn't mapped correctly or is commanding a module other than Digital Module 1, or the PWM outputs have been disabled.
