Re: RSL (Orange Light) Works, but not from the DSC
Ian,
There is a surface mount LED next to the RSL output connector. Is that flashing when you enable your robot? That LED is in parallel with the output connector. If it is flashing then you have an issue with the RSL wiring. Most often if the surface mount LED is not flashing is that the DSC is not receiving power. All three power LEDs must be on. The +5 may illuminate when the DSC is connected to the CRio but not all three. The DSC must be fed from a dedicated 20 amp circuit on the PD connected to the connector next to the RSL connector.
***You do have the jumper in place on the RSL as shown in the wiring diagram?
