How to connect two digital sidecards onto the C-rio?

I imagine that you would just add another 9403 moduel onto the fourth slot in the C-rio, but I’m not sure if this is the correct way.

Yes and make sure you reimage the CRIO. When you do this all 4 slots should be green with the corresponding module number. In the programming make sure you set which motors, relays, etc… go to the correct sidecar module.

There’s no need to reimage anything. A 4-slot cRIO will handle whatever module you put in slot 4.

If you’re using an 8-slot cRIO, a second digital I/O module goes in slot 6.

Make sure you specify which module is which when coding. The first one is 1 and the second one is 2.

If you’re making a Talon in PWM 3 on Sidecar 1 (in slot 2), the code (in Java) is:

 Talon talon = new Talon (1, 3);

A Jaguar on PWM 5 on Sidecar 2 (Slot 4 or 6) would be created as:

 Jaguar jag = new Jaguar (2, 5);
