In the future, it may be useful to resolve SW or HW issues by putting the robot into Test Mode.

You do this by putting the DS into test mode either enabled or disabled, depending on what you want to test. In the dashboard, you flip to the test tab on the right side. It should show all I/O that you opened and registered along with info about how it was opened.

This should help see if the PWMs SW is talking to match the electrical wiring. Then you can click on the Output ** line, change the slider, and enable to move the motor via the Test code. This should be a relatively trustworthy signal from SW to help determine if LEDs are coming on, motors turning, etc. This is also useful for testing sensors, where you may want to keep the robot disabled if you need to put your hand in front of a light sensor, etc.
