Re: Victor turning on and off under load, with non-IFI microcontroller

It's been a while since I've posted, but now I'm experiencing a problem like this on a VEX robot running a brand new Victor 884. It works sometime, and then all of a sudden it will start flashing orange rapidly. I don't have any code that would mess it up, and I'm using a normal PWM cable and powering it with a charged 12V battery rated for 3.4AH running a Fisher Price motor with some load. The voltage remains stable when starting, and it will be running then start flashing. I'm not sure what is wrong with it, right now I'm thinking defective Victor. Yesterday it wouldn't work very well at all. It would show that it was outputting a voltage, but the motor would not move at all. It's a brand new motor, brand new wire, brand new victor, etc...
