Or no 12v power to the Sidecar.

Re: Signal light

If its not too late, check the wago connector to the Digital SideCar, ensure all three power lights on the DS are lit and make sure you plugged the light in correctly in the right port, facing the correct direction.

If that doesn't work, then you can: change the DS or change the light. In addition, make sure you correctly wired the orange light.

I propose we make a thread listing all of the varied symptoms of a DSC without 12V power, and then link everyone to that thread when these things come up. Or maybe someone can make a bot to pick out these threads and link people to the answer for us....

Re: Signal light

Is the small LED next to the signal light port blinking? Are any other functions of the robot working?

If the answer is no to both you may have a reversed ribbon cable, this happened to our team. Check out this document for a fix.
