Jamie,

V10 is all that is required regardless of which controller you are using.

In V10 we discovered that the PWM outputs on both the 2004 and 2005 RC would "jump" when communications is established with the OI unless the DISABLE pin is shorted on the competition port.

This "jump" manifests itself more when you use PWM 7 though PWM 12 as your outputs.

V11 eliminates the "jump" and that is all... As long as you can guarantee that no team member will be injured because they powered up on a tether (you are using low numbered PWMs or have a dongle plugged in at all times), V11 is not required.

Regards,

Mike
