Re: Victor motor contorls flashing orange

Now that sounds like a Victor calibration/joystick centering issue.

The orange flickering light might mean that neutral on the joystick is right at the edge of the Victor's neutral dead zone.
That's not a dangerous condition, just annoying.

With the robot up on blocks can you push the joystick to it's extreme's and see the Victor status light turn green in one direction and red in the opposite direction?
