Re: WE GOT A PROBLEM!!!!

If there is no driver station plugged in and you are still seeing this behavior it is likely that something is wired incorrectly. With no DS the cRIO should have the outputs disabled. To verify this the small green LED to the right of the RSL connector should be on a fast blink (200ms on / 200ms off).

If this is the case you either have a hardware failure or a wiring issue.

The PWM cable should be connected to the Jaguar with the Black wire on the "inside" (the side where the other ports are located). The other end of the cable should be connected to a PWM header on the Digital Sidecar with the black wire on the "outside" (the side away from the adjacent 2 pin headers).

The Jaguar should have V+ connected to a red terminal on the Power Distribution board with an appropriate breaker installed and V- connected to the adjacent black terminal. M+ and M- should be wired to one terminal of the motor each.
