Re: Sidecar relay port issue

How is your DB-37 pin cable?
Do you have another you could swap in to check if the cable is bad?

The common cause of the Relay Xmas Tree effect this year when the robot gets Enabled is a reversed DB-37 cable.
Test your cable by plugging it into itself. If it forms a mobius strip, then it's reversed. If it forms a simple loop, then it's good.
