For those CDers who are completely confused as to what a Samantha is, this problem is FTC, not FRC.

If I understand your problem correctly, the brick isn't communicating with the Samantha module. I'm not too familiar with the setup (another mentor usually deals with this), but go ahead and replace the USB AB cable, which could be the problem. The other problem I'm guessing at is a misconfigured brick, so check the documentation for how to set up a brick to communicate with the Samantha.
