Re: Digital Sidecar relay ports: correct voltage?

Do you see the Relay status lights (red/green/off) changing states while the Spike status light remains orange?

Normally, with those symptoms I'd say the Spike is not receiving a signal.

P.S. I checked my notes and I noted a 4.6v reading from a Relay output.

P.P.S. I checked the Spike documentation and it requires 3v minimum for the control signal.
