You're supposed to power the Digital Sidecar through a 20 A breaker.

-3 of the Talons blink between orange and red very fast, so fast it may actually be solid. The other one just blinks orange ~1hz
The Talon user manual includes this paragraph:
Talon SR – The Talon SR has an additional LED state that blinks
red/orange when a fault state is detected. A fault can be caused by
one of three things; under voltage (< 3.3V DC), over temperature
(>170 degrees C) or a shorted output transistor. During a fault the
output of the Talon is disabled until the fault condition is no longer
present.
What voltage do you see on the V+/V- pins of the Talon?

What is the battery voltage?

What is the orange Robot Signal Light doing when you try to run the motors?
