Thus, we added a pull-down resistor (as stated in the spec sheet for the Jaguar) referenced to the GND pin of the Digital Sidecar.

2 wires on the digital sidecar, 1 wire to the jaguar.
Have you had any problem with getting the Jaguar in a coast mode using the jumpers? Also what spec sheet are you referring to and where do I find it.

Trying to help our programmers.
