Re: Help with limit switches?

If the Victor is blinking orange, then it isn't receiving a signal.
If it worked once and your code hasn't changed, then it's likely to be an electrical problem.
Really, the only code reason the Victor should be blinking is if the device wasn't Opened properly.

Failure to receive a signal can be the PWM cable - not seated properly in the Victor (common), plugged in backwards, or a bad cable. You can test the cable with a multimeter and you'll be able to detect the power of the signal (even a neutral signal) at the Victor end of the cable if it's good. The robot just has to be Enabled for the signal to be active.
