Re: Possible FMS problems.

As always techhelpbb has a good set of steps to follow.

Please locate a multimeter with a Min/Max function, put it on your robot setup to measure minimum voltage DC and attach it to your battery lugs.
Putting on my psychic problem hat (*) I'm wondering if there is a correlation between your battery falling off the robot issue and the power cable and attachment to the Power Distribution Board. I'm thinking that the match was not the first time the battery has come off the robot.

So I'd like you to Please locate a multimeter with a Min/Max function, put it on your robot setup to measure minimum voltage DC and attach it to your Power Distribution lugs. That way you will be able to see if there is a problem with your main power feed.

Report back with the stuff that's been asked in the prior threads, that should exactly pinpoint the problem.

Good luck!

(*)Yes, I said psychic hat. I know the difference since I have one of each.
