Re: 5v to DIO Slots?!?
The 5V power output needs a 12V connection from the Power Distribution Board in order to work. Do you have a brightly lit "BAT" LED on the Digital Sidecar?

If something is connected incorrectly, it could be shorting the 5V supply. Look at everything connected to the center pins of the DIO ports and make sure nothing is tying them to ground.
