Re: Victor motor contorls flashing orange
According to the datasheets for both the Victor 888 and Victor 884, the Orange flashing LED represents no PWM, and only no PWM. You should check the direction of the PWM and the slot it is plugged into as well as which slot the code wants it plugged into. Also, you should make sure that the sidecar is fully functional with the power LEDs all green, and make sure that the ribbon cable is fully inserted on both ends.
Edit: From the datasheet:
LED Indicator Status
• Green = Full Forward
• Orange = Neutral/Brake
• Red = Full Reverse
• Flashing Orange = no PWM
