Re: Victors behaving erratically when PWM is plugged in

I would also like to add to the discussion... The three (not just two) LEDs need to be on and bright.

Re: Victors behaving erratically when PWM is plugged in

A short in anything that uses 5V is another possibility -- causes similar issues with DSC power but the cause is different. If you have a meter, you might want to measure the voltage between GND and +5VDC on one of the sets of digital I/O pins. You can rig up a PWM cable to do this pretty easily.

Re: Victors behaving erratically when PWM is plugged in

The LEDs on the sidecar are indeed brightly lit, and this problem persisted after we changed the sidecar, which is one of the reasons we're hesitant to accept it as a problem with the sidecar.

I thank you guys for your help--since we at least have a temporary fix, we haven't managed to find the time to search for something more permanent. I expect that we'll be able to spend more time on it today, as the electronics team hopefully () gets something of a pause in the action until our intake goes on the robot.
