Re: Relay Ports on the Digital sidecar have no Power
Just a bit of troubleshooting:
When you connect a Jaguar or Victor (both power, and signal to PWM output), do you see flashing lights on the Jag/Victor, or do you see a solid light? If flashing, nothing is working. That could indicate a few things; some things to check:
What does the Drivers Station tell you? You need to have the communications up, stop button connected but not activated, robot code running, and robot enabled (you initiate this through the drivers station; you need to turn on teleop). If everything is go on the Drivers Station side, then you need to start looking at other things:
Is the sidecar connected firmly? Try reseating (unplugging and plugging back in) the card in the cRIO, the cable going from the cRIO to the sidecar, and the breakout board on the cRIO.
I hope this helps. Let us know what happens.
EDIT: Also, as others in this thread have mentioned, the code must be commanding the specific relay to turn on. We can delve into how to do that; just let us know and we will help.
