Re: New Programming Core needs help with simple motor control

Just wanted to let everyone know that the problem was the digital sidecar. Here is what happened. I had no RSL light for the test robot that we had set up. After verifying that the code was right I started swapping parts out. When I swapped out the digital sidecar I also swapped the power for it. The power cable was not properly installed so the sidecar did not get enough voltage. The test rig that I brought home to work on had the digital sidecar that I took off the test robot. That sidecar is bad and did not work. When I got back to school and worked on the test robot I simply adjusted the power cable in the breaker panel and the sidecar started working. I also replaced the side car on the test rig and it too started working. Very unlikely circumstances lead to a very troubling problem. Thanks to everyone who helped figure it out.
