Re: Photoswitches flashes true but then stays false

Does your digital sidecar have good power? Are all three LEDs on the digital sidecar brightly lit? Do they stay lit if you remove the DB-37 cable?

If the digital sidecar power isn't connected, there is still current provided through the DB37 cable, which might be enough for intermittent operation. Add calls to a speed controller will cause more signals to go through the DB37 cable, and provide more power.
