Re: Emergency Vic 884 Help Needed

We are having this problem as well. Though ours is even stranger. We hooked up a victor for the first time and it worked... for about two days. after that, we unplugged the pwn cable and put it back just minutes later and all the victor would do is blink orange.

We hooked up a servo to that cable and the servo worked fine. So through some sort of "magic" by one of our engineers bending a pin, the victor worked again.

But today, we hooked the victor up again and, surely enough, it didn't work, still blinking orange. But this time, when we hooked up the servo again, the servo wouldn't work. We finally switched a victor and the connection was working again.

This is a very peculiar problem. I must say that these victors are really bad this year. No labels, pieces of plastic sticking out of the pwm connection, and now this... oy.
