Re: [HELP] Digital Sidecar troubles

I know the sound of a constantly tripping circuit breaker. It isn't that noise. It's a high pitched squeal (Or whine as my girlfriend called it). Our sidecar is fairly remote from our PDB (a good 18"-24"), so I don't think it's the sidecar.

As far as clarification as to why we believe it's somewhere along the line of the sidecar, or perhaps the DB37 cable, would be that it we are still able to enable the robot, get spotty control of the robot, and then we die out. We tried switching the port the sidecar gets power from and still have the same problem.
