Re: Mecanum forward rotation error

So it isn't the wiring as far as we can tell. We replaced the wires and used a new 20A breaker, still no 6V light. We are getting 12V at the end of the cables connected to the PD board. The DB-37 cable keeps the 5V light on by itself, and the WAGO keeps the Bat light on. Both of them together will turn on the RSL. The 6V light would come on when we used a new sidecar, so since the wires were capable back then I believe they still are now. When the sidecar broke, the only change was that in the situation in which the disable would occur, we were able to run the motors in that situation for a few minutes while all three lights were on, and then the jaguars disabled themselves and we noticed the 6V had turned off. So I don't think it is the wiring since it was capable of running the robot and the sidecar before it broke. Something physical changed when everything stopped working, and my guess is we broke the sidecar, but what we don't know is how sending four -1 PWM signals killed it.
