Re: Bridge resetting

The current bridge is 5V. Don't directly wire it to the 12V!!! use the power convertor.

Rule 42 B is specific on how the Bridge is suppose to be wired. Wiring it differently could cause the issue you described. Power light blinking is a good indication of some kind of power or wiring problem. Are you using the right plug for the bridge? If not, you could have one that mostly works.

Also the bridge should not be next to motor & have a good line of site
