Exclamation Need Help With 2009 Control System

Hello everyone, I'm having troubles running a motor control example that is provided by LabView.

Everyone seems to be connected properly, the lights on the power distribution block, speed controller, cRIO and the digital sidecar are on.

The light on the speed controller seems to be flashing orange, so that means that the speed controller is not getting any information (?)

I have formatted the driver station and the cRIO successfully with update 2.

The program downloaded successfully also. The program that I downloaded is Motor Control Example. When I run the program and change the speed, the lights on the speed controller does not change. I have tried several things like switching from autonomous to teleoperated and rebooting everything.

I uploaded some pictures of the current control system and how everything is connected.

Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem?
