Re: Problem with using RobotDrive alongside MotorControl

Then you need to wire 12v power from a pair of red/black wago connectors on the Power Distribution Panel to a white wago connector that gets plugged into the Digital Sidecar right beside the power lights.

You're running on a trickle of power coming through the ribbon cable from the cRIO.
That's just enough to run a few things, but you tried to run one more than it could handle.
You would have discovered odd power drop outs when turning on carpet too.

Here's a Before/After example: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/at...3&d=1295532854
