Re: Programming port burning hot

Well, we were having the same problem with our RC a while back. Now, I know you've already shipped, but when you are able to get back to looking at it, you may want to check the voltage on the frame. We were getting 5 volts running out of one of our Bosch motors and grounding to the frame. Our program port itself didn't get hot, but we actually melted the casing on the cable. So, just as a precaution, I would be absolutely sure to check the frame for voltage.
