EduRobotics problems
I just started trying out one of the EduRobotics kits out tonight, and it doesn't work. First, the 'Program/Tether' switch (used because the controller only has one serial port for both functions) came off, I assume during shipping. No matter what I do, the controller does not seem to get any signal from the Operator Interface (neither tether or radio seem to work). The PBASIC compiler can't detect it through the serial port either - not that it would have much mattered to start with, as the EDU default program downloaded from Innovation First doesn't compile (silly mistakes like having a variable in the serin command that had been commented out above, and then using a 'temp' variable that had not been declared). Is anybody else having these problems?
