How did you resolve your previous problem of no signal to your speed controllers?

For our previous problem, the thing was that we connected each Talon to its own PWM individually instead of grouping two PWM cables together at a time. Sorry for my explanation, but anyways, it works, so that’s good … As for my current problem, I couldn't tell you right now because I’m at home ( it’s 8pm on a Monday! ), but I’ll let you know tomorrow around 4pm.

I suspect that both this problem, and your previous talon problem both have the same root cause, not properly powering the Digital Sidecar.

Remove the DB-37 cable from the digital sidecar and verify that all 3 power LEDs on the Digital Sidecar are brightly lit. If they aren't, make sure the digital sidecar is powered from a 20amp circuit from the PDB.
