To be honest, I am not entirely sure what the slot number on the chassis is supposed to signify, so i just used 1 because that seems to be what everyone used in the examples i have seen. For the channel number, I used the PWM slot number i connected each jaguar to on the digital side car.

Then I used the set method, passing in the throttle value from a joystick, to set the speeds. Then I passed the speed controllers into the tankDrive() method.

One more thing that i have noticed is that the the green diagnostic light in the driver station diagnostic console doesnt change color to blue when i move the sticks. It does, however, change color when i press buttons on the stick. Does this have any significance?

If the code isn't working, try removing the slot number. Instantiate your Jaguars with only the PWM number. Also, I've never used "SpeedController x = new Jaguar(etc)". I believe I always use "Jaguar x = new Jaguar(blah)"... If that makes any difference.
And the dashboard is just like that. No real significance. It changes color only for button-presses.
