I am trying to run the servo example vi, but the digital sidecar status led is always in fast flashing mode.
My configuration:
- DB37 cable from module 4 (NI 9403) to digital sidecar.
- 12V Wago connector from PD board to digital sidecar
- no jumpers on the digital sidecar (anywhere)
- nothing else connected to the digital sidecar
When I power the system on, the BAT, 5V and 6V leds turn on. No other leds are on.
When I deploy the servo example, the status led will start to fast flash. (The flashing begins mid-way through deployment.)
Fast flash continues while the application is running.
I get the same behavior if I have a hobby servo (Futaba 3003) connected to a PWM channel (with or without the power jumper) and deploy the application. Servo doesn't respond to the dial control.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Update found this forum tread which sounds like it might be related to my problem [need to enable the robot from the driver station]:

If so - what would be easiest way to get the servo example working? Do I have a create custom Dashboard VI? I'm not using the Classmate, just my own laptop.
Thanks!
