Bizarrely, FRC has managed to find ribbon cables that violate the laws of physics; some people have noted differences in performance between the old cable and the new one. While I can't imagine why this happens, you might want to try swapping out the cable with the new one to see if that solves your problem.

There should be no "blinking" whatsoever if you're providing a signal to your controller; I assume you mean the color response. Check to see if it's consistently red, consistently green, or a mix of the both. (or does it turn the LED off?)
