Re: PWM placements

For the servo motors, you need to install the jumper on those PWM outputs on the digital sidecar. (next to the PWM-OUT)

those jumpers allow power to flow to the servo motors, in addition to the control signals.

it's very important to NOT have those jumpers in place if that PWM channel is going to a victor or jag.

That's actually not true. On both the victor and the Jaguar, the center pin is not attached. The jumpers are there for hardware flexibility. Actually, I think Eric was just trying to throw in one more thing for people to overlook so that he would have more forum posts to respond to. If you chose to put a jumper on every channel and then forget about them, that would be fine too.
