Looking up on Luminary Micro's website, a slow blinking Red light means a "Fault condition". I'm not exactly sure what this refers to.

What should we look out for to get the Jaguar working again?
If the flashing red light is following the PWM, then your code is instructing the Jaguar to run, probably at a very low rate if the motor is not turning. The Jaguar (or Victor) will either flash green or red when it is between neutral and full power, depending on which direction the code instructs.
