Re: Digital Side Car Error
Hi.
Before assuming that you have a bad sidecar, we ran into a problem yesterday at the DC regional of the DB37 cable vibrating out of the DSC (or maybe it was that collision in auton).
This causes what looks like a progressive failue, that started with the encoders and worked it's way to PWM's.
This cable is not anchored at the DSC end, but it can be.
Take a cRIO plug-in module that you are not using (Spare analog or digital) and remove the small hex posts that the db37 screws into.
Fit these posts to the DSC, (at each end of the db37 connector) and then re-install the cable.
This makes for a solid connection.
Phil.
