Go to Post There's no feeling quite like that one you get when you're behind the diamond plate controlling a metal beast that you've put your blood (literally), sweat (more literally), and tears (probably literally) into, and it working. Undescribable. - scali [more]

Re: Help! No communication with Victors.


If you're still out of ideas and want to try something, you could take two pieces of 22 gauge solid copper wire (with the ends suitable stripped) and attach them to the signal and ground of your PWM cable. Then carefully plug each copper wire into the signal and ground of the Victor's PWM input port (so you can see what you're doing and inspect it with a good light and magnifier)... and see if the blinking orange goes away.

Re: Help! No communication with Victors.

We ended up just changing out the creo and the digital sidecar this morning with some extras from our practice robot and now everything is working perfectly again. We are still not sure of the issue as we had all three lights on the DS and we switched the spots and wires and they all worked with the talons.

We fried our pdb 2 nights ago driving really hard and probably a short on our frame. The robot just stopped and we replaced the breaker (did nothing, no lights turned on) so we took out the pdb and now it works fine. We will play with these before our regional and try to see what went wrong wih all the components and see what is broken.

Thanks you guys!
