Motor Controller Problems

Hello, Everyone. We are trying to test basic robot programming using Java, but have gotten stuck. After several days of following FRC instructions, we have reached the following block. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

- The motor controllers have flashing orange lights, indicating no PWM signal.
- We have tried both Jaguar's and Victor 888's with the same result.
- The cRIO has been re-imaged to 2014 java version.
- We have downloaded the simpleRobotTemplate project to the cRIO using NetBeans IDE.
- The motor controllers are connected to the PWM slots 1 & 2 of the digital sidecar.
- Communication is good between the driver station and cRIO.
- Status lights on the digital sidecar and cRIO are all green and appear to be working correctly.
