Unhappy Unable to set sidecar output values?
Has anyone else had issues with getting programs to set output values of the digital sidecar?

Our team has tried the example SimpleRobotTemplate, as well as several other programs from last year, but none of them are able to set values on the sidecar. Our motor controllers show they are getting a deadband signal when enabled, but we are unable to send anything else to them.

We have tried a different cRIO, a different sidecar, a different digital module in the cRIO, as well as even switching to Java, and running the example programs from there as well. None of these produced any change.

We also tried going back through the installation guide, and redoing all the patches to make sure. This didn't help either.

Has anyone else been able to change the outputs of the sidecar? If so, any other suggestions as to solutions for this issue?

EDIT: The bottom comment on this page has the solution, thank you to everyone who helped!
