Re: Programming Victor 884 control

Drake,

The ticking sound you hear is the auto resetting circuit breaker tripping over and over again.

Your problem is mechanical. A chain, (gear, et cetera) is binding in reverse.

You should see the Victor led turn off every time the CB trips in this condition. Hence the synchronous flashing you describe.

Proof: Remove the motor from it's mechanical house of bondage and it will operate just fine with the same code and electronics.

Mike
