Re: Powering the Robot From the Battery Charger
Thanks everyone!

I'm trouble shooting our FTC robot. It seems the NXT is working (ROBOTC sees it and can make it beep), I have the motor controller configured in the PRAGMA, the controller power LED is on, and the motors run with direct DC, but the motors are not running when under program control. Ive tried the simple sample programs and none of them work either. I've looked at it for about an hour and as a last resort I'm recharging the batteries. They've been charging for over an hour now.

UPDATE: Batteries are charged and the motors show as "running" in the NXT Device Control Display Debugger, but they're not running.
