I tried programming the spike relay to turn an am-0914 motor today and it doesn't work. The motor doesn't turn.
I'm programming it so that when the trigger on the joystick is held down, the motor spins.
The relay is connected to Relay1 on the Digital Sidecar. The light on the relay is orange. When the trigger is held down, the light on the relay is still orange, though in labview front panel, I can see the SetRelay front panel RelayValue is set to forward. The front panel looks like this when the trigger is held down:
Am I programming something wrong?

There is one more picture with the relay but the guy who's supposed to send them hasn't.
Update
I Just saw the photos and noticed that thing thing is connected backwards. That's because we tried connecting that wire to every relay port in every direction. I also just noticed the light next to the relay. That's kind of comforting. Maybe the Spike is broken?
