Re: Loader for Vex thinks it's FRC
It sounds like your PC isn't communicating with the Vex controller successfully.
I've gotten bogus results from "controller verification" even when the cables are completely disconnected.

If the PROG button for Vex on the orange TTL-RS232 converter box isn't helping, then you might try the standard cable swap to see if there's a cable problem (serial cable from PC to Vex converter and phone cable from the converter to the Vex controller).
