Go to Post It's easy to get so caught up in the intensity of build that we forget we need some down time to recharge and get a fresh head. Taking a day off will only happen if you make it a priority as important as any other team meeting. Long hours do not equate to productive hours. - Greg Hainsworth [more]

First thing we tried

The problem seems to be getting the input from the sidecar to the code, I will check the cable to the crio, we are using the new lightweight one.

It may spin to fast for the sensor, but even with a simple switch I am getting no input
