A photo or two of your wiring would help greatly in our attempt to help troubleshoot what's going on.

I'll put up a photo soon.

So for starters, I realized I was doing this all wrong, but I was taking the connectors from inside the RJ12/DB9 convertor and putting them into the pins of the cRIO. I was referring to the the fact that the convertor is a female convertor.

The robot was on, and I did connect the pins incorrectly, so that might have killed it. But I don't think that would short all of the brown motor controllers, and NOT short the black one.

I hope this helps to clear up any confusion.

Thanks,
