Re: Victor lights out of sequence

Matt,
The Victors are not synchronized so the flashing is random. There is no signal running to all of the Victors to tell them to turn on the LED at the same time. In all likelyhood, the odd one just responds slower to the absence of drive signals or has a slightly different clock crystal frequency. I bet if you were to leave the robot for a few minutes in this condition you would find others flashing at different rates as well.
