Re: Relays Reversing On Their Own
We had the same issue last year - and our pneumatics would not work. We had to reset the robot from the OI. We had a new programmer this year, and totally re-wrote last years program, and the relays would reverse on their own. I could turn the robot on, and let it set there doing nothing. At random times the relay would reverse, because a cylinder would actuate on it's own.

This year, it has happened twice - which is much less frequent than last year.

We had a fresh main battery, and a fresh backup battery also. So far we have had no luck finding the problem. We even tried to reinitialize the relays every time through the loop - to no avail.


Maybe we can solve this problem eventually!

Thanks,

Mike
