Re: Jaguar Issues at the Last Minute

Have you replaced the cable since it stopped working? Even a ribbon cable that worked at one point can break and stop passing PWM signals.

If you think you have swapped everything try swapping everything else. PD Board, Digital Module, and anything else that could even remotely fix the problem. Do them one at a time so you can isolate where the problem is.

Also double check the PWM connections and cables, change to different motor ports that you are using on the sidecar.

If you have a second digital module put in slot 4 (assuming 4-slot cRIO) and try to run of of that one.
