Re: at Whits end

If everything is going dark, including the Jaguar status LEDs, it sounds like you have a power issue. If a discharged battery isn't the problem, look for shorted wiring on the output of your speed controllers and Spikes.

I'm a little worried about your description of when the compressor turns off. It sounds like you said it quits when the robot is enabled, which implies that it runs while the robot is disabled. I hope I misunderstood that part. If the compressor indeed runs before you enable the robot, it has been seriously miswired.
