Re: Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding

I think we've established that it probably isn't electrical. I got them on the flipped PWM a couple weeks back, when we were trying to get a motor running from PWM 1. They should remember that one...

It's something in code, I'm reasonably certain--but in that case, why isn't anything showing up on anything higher than Port 4 on the Sidecar?

In other words: PWM 1, working. PWM 2, working. PWM 3, working. PWM 4, working. PWM 5 or higher, not working. Using the default code and switching say PWM 1 to PWM 5 doesn't help (though where the switch was made, I don't know).
