Problem with jaguar's "loss of servo link"

[Thundrio]

I did read it and Everything is powered/connected except for the Analog and Solenoid Breakouts, which a veteran team's mentor told us was not necessary right now (although it will later). are these needed to power the motors specifically? thanks

Have you ever reversed the polarity to the jaguars? If so, that BAD...

Also, make sure the servo jumpers on the digital sidecar are NOT installed, as these are only necessary for servos.

Good luck!

i dont think we have applied any kind of polarity to the jaguars.

Motor power doesn't come through any of the cRIO modules or breakouts. However, you shouldn't be taking any shortcuts. The battery power going to the Analog Breakout on the module in cRIO slot 1 is absolutely required by the robot rules. Without it, the system won't be able to monitor battery voltage and the undervoltage shutdown won't function.

When you have the battery voltage displayed properly on the Driver Station, we'll work on whatever else might be wrong.
