Problems With FCS and Samantha

[Andrew Lobos]

What we did was:

- Waited for the controller chain to drop. At this point there is one battery icon in the top right of the NXT display and JoystickDriver's debug screen lists: "Ext Batt: OFF"

- Without cutting power, connect the NXT to the second controller in the chain. (assuming it's not a servo controller), our NXT saw the battery voltage and could talk to it.

- Again without cutting power, move the NXT back to the first controller. Our NXT was still not able to communicate.

Could you see if your robot acts the same?

If you wanted to change the order of the controllers, I would put the one you suspect to be bad on the end. That way if it drops, it shouldn't take anything with it.
