Re: Problems with the RSL
It's not your wiring of the RSL that's a problem. The RSL just repeats what the LED beside the RSL connector is doing, and if it's never on, then the RSL shouldn't be on either.

Something to add to the checklist.
-Is your module that the Digital Sidecar is connected to in slot 4 (slot 6 doesn't use the RSL)?
-Have you re-imaged your cRIO with the latest v11 contained in Update 3a (the OTB version doesn't use the RSL)?
-Check your other indicators for clues, such as the Driver Station Battery status.

I'm pretty sure Vikesrock meant the white Wago connector that brings 12v power to the Digital Sidecar in #2 above, not the RSL connector which is a standard 2-pin .1" header.
