Re: Team 4053 is not even close to done! DX

Cool. Nowhere near us, but hopefully a local team will find this thread! You might also want to check TIMS for contact info from local teams.

A few preliminary questions:

Digital sidecar ribbon cable okay?
Do the Jags'/Victors' lights change color when joystick input is applied, or do they stay orange/blinking?
Flashed cRIO with the latest firmware?


Easy things to check for:

PWM cable orientation, black to black, red to red...
PWM cables are actually plugged in. They can get misaligned and seem plugged in, but actually are not.
Crimp connectors are actually crimped and tight.
Wire was stripped prior to being crimped.
Wire installed in the power distribution board is stripped.
Breakers are installed.

Good luck!
