Re: New Programming Core needs help with simple motor control
The Simple Motor VI looks fine for verifying things. It includes the Start Communications icon to connect to the DS. It has a loop in it, so no need to continuous run.

If your RSL is not blinking, is the small LED on the digital breakout board blinking? The LED helps distinguish between bad signal or power to the big light or an issue with the signal to the breakout board.

One of the things that hasn't been discussed is the ribbon cable. I've heard of bad cables and backwards cables over the last few years. Can you try another?
