Re: Problem with using RobotDrive alongside MotorControl
If you can measure 12v from the power connector, then there's something in or on the Sidecar shorting it out.
If the power lights aren't all three bright and green, then the Sidecar won't work well.
I'd suggest taking the case off the Sidecar and looking for burnt components inside. Maybe you'll get lucky and it'll just be metal debris floating around and no permanent damage.
P.S.
I might try a test replacing the ribbon cable with a round 37-pin cable if you have one.
That would eliminate the cable as a potential source of the trouble.
