Re: Problems With FCS and Samantha

We've had what appears to be this same issue on both our 2012 and 2013 robots. In both cases, the JoystickDriver debug output for the external battery went to OFF even though the controller chain was powered and connected. We found that only the first controller becomes unresponsive - it would see the controllers if we made any other controller in the chain the primary one. A power cycle always fixed the issue, but it was just a matter of time before it happened again.

In both cases we ended up replacing the controller and not having the issue happen again on that robot. I'm not sure if the controllers are cheaply made, or if we just stress them more than they expected, but it seems like this is an issue with the design of it.
