Jaguar Issues at the Last Minute

Also double check the PWM connections and cables, change to different motor ports that you are using on the sidecar.

If you have a second digital module put in slot 4 (assuming 4-slot cRIO) and try to run of of that one.

Thank you for the suggestions; we'd thought of those, but we decided to consider alternatives before redoing everything.

Also, I just thought of another potential problem: is the PWM cable going into the Jaguar supposed to be. . .well, loose? When we insert a PWM cable into a Spike Relay, there is a good satisfying click. With the Jaguar, though, it just sort of slides in and slides out easily.
