Re: Spike Relay code failing

One non-programming possibility is that there is an intermittent electrical connection somewhere. We had one of those a few years ago, where the IFI controller would lose power when the robot leapt forward, causing the robot to...stop leaping forward. Doesn't sound *exactly* like your situation, but I can see scenarios where something like you are describing might happen.

Re: Spike Relay code failing

It could really be a bad spike also. In fact, one of ours stopped working today randomly as well. We checked all the cables and nothing seemed wrong with them, then we tried a different Spike and it worked fine.

Re: Spike Relay code failing

we were helping a team at the Utah Regional and there connector on the spike wasn't working, we had to take off the case to get the connector in it, also today i tried wiring the spikes and put the PWM cable in wrong and busted the pins off it. So ya, they have been known to have connector issues.

Re: Spike Relay code failing

You cant plug a relay into a pwm you have to plug it into a relay port right across from the pwm's. And also the b pin on the relay goes to the - one on the dsc.

THANK YOU! we spent a bunch of time looking at this, and then we found the sidecar had been wired to the camera power port based on this tip.

Check your power source...
