Re: Spike Red Light?

Spikes are a very random moor controller. The fuse can be intact, the PWM can be plugged into the correct relay slot, and a light may appear, but sometimes it just refuses to work. Our team has a LOT of OLD spikes and a few, that were tested, work so far without any indication. I know this because tested the same spike and compared I with the new VEX spike by changing the Relay PWMs to the new spike and got a signal. So if the problem persists, just keep testing to your heart's content.

Hope his helped and Happy Competitions!
