Motors won't initialize

Our team is trying to use 6 jaguars but they don't work when initializing more than 4 at the Begin.vi, with 4 or less it Works. We already switched jaguars, and pwm outputs. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Re: Motors won't initialize

Do you have 12V power wired to your digital sidecar? Are the 6V and Bat LEDs on the sidecar bright green? The sidecar will barely work without 12V power, but too many PWMs connected to it and running will eventually make it fail without 12V powering it.

12v power to the Digital Sidecar?
All three power status lights bright green?
