Re: Digital Sidecar Not Working
I can almost guarantee that you didn't strip enough insulation off of the wire that's inserted in the PD's WAGO. You aren't getting power to the DSC. Remove the power cable from the PD, strip off a bit more insulation and re-WAGO.

A word of warning - if the 37-pin cable that connects the DSC to the cRIO is present and the DSC has no power (as is probably your case), the 5V LED on the DSC will be on but somewhat faint and the 6V and 12V LEDs will be off. In this example, the cRIO is generating TTL/CMOS level digital outputs that partially providing power on the DSC's 5V rail. All 3 power LEDs need to be fully on (5V, 6V and 12V).
