Re: Encoder Death

Hi Guys,

We have literally taken the 2007 default code, added Kevin's encoder code per the instructions.

That's it - nothing else has been added and we still see the fault.

Wheels are still the entire time (they have the Banebots encoders on them) we don't touch anything on the OI.

Everything works fine before the fault.

Everything works fine if we reset the fault by pressing the pushbutton.

I have another processor - I think I'll try the software on that.
I'll also try removing all wires and see if the problem persists.

It's as if a watchdog timeout is wrong, and it has more time to timeout after powerup than other times so it fails.

Weird ...
