(Yet, another) Potential Problem with Sidecar.

[Ted3299]

I know I posted a thread earlier about how our team was unable to run motors on our robot due to some issues with our sidecar. Turn out the wiring was backward with the power from the photo sensors (in respect to the PWM's going to the sidecar) that was in turn, shorting out the 5V slots. This has been rectified and is no longer an issue.

What is currently happening now is strikingly similar but is not being caused by the same thing. It the exact same issue but isn't seemingly linked to the photo sensors like it was before. We enable the jaguars don't go solid, but we have communication to the cRIO and everything.

The big difference between now and the last problem was that we have completely re-wired our whole bot. Every splice has been soldered, every length re-done. Now I know it seems that this could be linked the the soldering but everything that was soldered is working perfectly fine, as in the photo sensors were soldered with the new configuration and are working as they normally do.

The code doesn't seem to blame here so what I'm wondering is if we might have ruined the side car.

Any input is appreciated!
