Ok, did you wire pin(9) of the Mega to the PWM signal of the motor controller?
Did you wire GND of the Mega to the PWM Gnd of the motor controller?
You can wire the PWM Red to +5v of the Mega, but I am pretty sure it is not required.

The Sweep servo program uses pin(9) in the sketch.

*As a debug tool, you could add code to turn on, or blink the LED on pin 13, so you would know that the program is running.
