Re: Relay Outputs on Digital Side Car Not Working

The ribbon cable that we swapped out was the 2014 KOP ribbon cable this year.

We have all green LED lights on three different DSC that we tried. The PWM signals work because we can drive around and control the robot. the Pneumatic Bumper works, we can see the relay lights come on and off from the software on the front of it.

I have not confirmed if the software team has the latest firmware. I will double check that on Monday with them. Will try the other suggestions noted above.

1. Make sure firmware is update.
2. Try sample Relay Code in Examples to make sure not a software bug somewhere.

It's an odd problem for sure...
