Re: [OCCRA]: VEX Robot Backup Battery Error

Some more info,

Talked to Mike Martus and played some more with Cortex system with backup battery and found the following:

1) With backup battery, Cortex remains powered for 3 minutes with Robot LED flashing red, after turning off.

2) Turning Cortex back on, with backup battery, with Robot LED already red
with not turn to green without turning off the joystick controller as well.

3) So, with backup battery, when Cortex unit is turned off, joystick controller must also be turned off and both turned back on to get rid of flashing red Robot LED on both units.

Hope this helps,
