Cant use any PWM above 4 on slot 4

MotorRef.jpgHello,

When ever I try to register a motor control in slot 4 above PWM 4 in the Begin VI, I loose all my PWMs ie all the lights on my Jags attached to PWMs 1-4 continue to flash after I hit enable on the drivers station... If I delete the code from the begin vi it will work again... any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help.

V/R

Doug

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGG!  I have spent the last 8 hrs trouble-shooting this fault to find out the whoever wired the the digital sidecar did not strip enough insulation off the negative wire that went into the power distribution board!  I guess a strand or two of wire was touching, so it would work with a few servos, however whenever I loaded the board with more than 4 servos, relays etc, it would fault.  Remade the connections and it works fine now.
