Re: Speed controllers won't communicate w/robot controller

Probably the most common cause this year has been poorly seated PWM connectors on the victor side. It feels like it's all the way in, but it's probably not. The Victor connection seems to be tighter this year.
Keep wiggling the connector until it only shows about 3/16 of an inch.
