Re: Spike Problem

Orange indicates neither of the Spike's two relays is being turned on. Off indicates both of them are. I can't think of a plausible way for a faulty three-wire cable to make this happen when you only want one of them on.

But faulty power to the Digital Sidecar results in weird things sometimes. It might be worth verifying that you're actually getting 12 volts (with the right polarity) on the connector.
