Re: Limit Switch Draws Tears
what are you using to discover the value? The Dashboard? If so the default dashboard code returns hard-coded values that do not reflect the status of the system

Make sure the digital module is on slot 4. Also make sure power is properly wired to the sidecar. Try last year's sidecar if you have to. Also try a different limit switch.

If you are using the CAN bus for motor control, you could just directly wire the limit switch to the Jaguar and forget about this entire mess
