Digital Side Car issues

[iilego]

are there any other possibilities, I'm not at the shop at the moment but I was just curious to see if there could be any other problems that could cause this, just so that I could go through the list tomorrow and save time.

Possible problems in order of likelihood:
1. Incorrectly assembled/damaged cable
2. Poorly written code (This is always high on the list... it would be number 1, except you got ports 1-4 working, so it seems like you should know what you're doing for the other ports)
3. Damage to the DSC (metal shavings, burned out components)
4. Damage to the Digital I/O module on the cRio (a bent/broken pin, burned out through misuse)
5. Damage to the cRio (a bent/broken pin, metal shavings, burned out components)

Start by replacing the cable. If that doesn't work, replace the side car. If that still doesn't work, pray that someone has a space cRio you can try out.

could you tell me a little more about number 2 actually because I'm not too sure about the code. In the code there is that blue PWM box, is that how you declare a slot on the DSC or do you have to do something else because everyone is telling me that it's the code that's not working. So how do you create a spot for the DSC in labview?

That sounds like a great question for the Labview forum... unfortunately, I don't know much about programming Labview...

alright, thanks for the suggestions.
