What does your handheld digital volt meter say is on the PD board main terminals?

I hooked it up to a power supply and it reads 9 volts (that's what I set the power supply to) but the driver station still says 17.7 and won't move from that

9 volts is awful low. could it be a bug with a battery with really low voltage?

No I set the power supply to 9.5 just to be safe cause I don't like accidently setting it to high (it has a very sensitive dial) so setting it to 10 made the pdb 10 too
