Re: Relay Ports on the Digital sidecar have no Power

How are you measuring 'power'? The pin closest to the edge of the sidecar is ground, the middle pin is "reverse" and the inner pin is "forward". measure between the ground pin and the other pins (one at a time) on DC Volts. Of course, the software must be commanding that relay output "on" for there to be any voltage.

Note that these outputs are expected to drive Spike relays, not a mechanical relay.

How exactly are the programmers telling a relay output to do whatever it's supposed to do? be specific for the best help.
