Digital SideCar not working

Hello people,

We are having problems trying to use the Digital SideCar. For some reason I cannot write any PWM signal, but we are able to do digital input and output from the GPIO pins. I'm not getting any voltage out of the pins for the RSL, and the LED next to it does not light up. The Battery light, 5V light, and 6V light are all lit. And the SideCar is getting 12V from the Power Distribution Board.

I really don't think it is a problem with the Digital SideCar itself because we tried three different Digital SideCars and had the same problem.

I am a java user and should be using the latest update. I flashed the cRIO with the V19.

We actually had it randomly work once when we re-flashed the cRIO, but it stopped working shortly afterward and this magic trick with the re-flashing thing no longer works.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
