Re: Digital Sidecar relay ports: correct voltage?

It's on page 3 of the Spike document - Control signal: 3v minimum.

I'd consider this a problem with plugging the PWM cable into the recessed Spike connection. It can easily go into the slot, but miss the internal connector entirely even after repeated tries.

If you're reading a signal at the Spike end of the PWM then the cable and connection at the DSC sound fine.
