The first thing I did when I encountered this problem was to check the supplied batteries. They were very low, although the power light on the Edu-RC came on. When I charged the batteries and plugged back in, the Edu-RC front panel lights started blinking madly, just like they're supposed to. When I turned on the OI (using the wall transformer), it checked through its list of channels, found the Edu-RC and functioned normally.

I did not have to download code. I just hooked up the way the diagram that came with the kit indicated.

I then hooked up the system on the tether (don't plug in the OI to the transformer). Although the system did work, every time I activated a relay, the OI reset. Those little Ni-cads don't seem to have enough juice to drive both the RC, a motor, and the OI. Maybe if I charge for a while longer...

By the way, the OI that comes with the EDU-KIT is the same OI that we will have to use with our 2003 robot. Don't know if everyone knows that...
