What am I doing wrong? grrrrrrr
Hello All...

So my team(2648) just bought a new black Jaguar, and the required serial to rj12 connector.

I hooked it up to my computer, and ran the BDC-COMM program, it says "Status: Connected"

I downloaded the firmware, qs-bdc25.bin and it seemed successfull.

then I preceded to try to set the motor voltage, and the display at the bottom of the GUI says Vout 11.95. But when i connect a meter to the terminals, i get az reading of 0. Also after connecting a motor, changing the voltage again, the motor does not move.

any ideas?
Did i do something wrong.
Is tehre any documentation otner than that of whats on the luminaryMicro site?

Thanks,
