The lights on the victors jaguars mean a few things:
-Fast flashing green: PWM signal says "partial power forward"
-Fast flashing red: PWM signal says "partial power reverse"
-Solid green: PWM signal says "full speed ahead"
-Solid red: PWM signal says "full speed reverse"
-Solid orange: PWM signal says "neutral"
-Slow flashing orange: PWM signal not present (can happen when the cRIO is booting, and when the PWM signal is unplugged)
-There's on other that indicates an error, it might be fast flashing orange but I'm not sure.


We get that fatal error thing every time we boot too. We haven't investigated, but it doesn't seem to affect our robot's performance.

For us, the Fatal Error constantly repeats until we disconnect the system... I'm not sure how "normal" this thing actually is...
