Re: Digital Side Car Error

Tom,

This has happened to a few teams. In one case (as well as my addled mind can recall), the 12 volts was not hooked up at all but leakage current sneaked in via the DB37 and allowed the board to function until you went to full reverse on one of the joysticks, then chaos followed...

If 12V looks good, disconnect the DB37 and look again.

Mike
