RC getting spontaneously disabled
If this problem has already come up, sorry for posting, I couldn't find it.
We powered up our electrical system today and the first thing I saw on the RC was the Program LED flash between red and green very rapidly, and the RC mode LED go steady orange(meaning we are disabled). I tried resetting it, but to no avail.
We were, however, able to get the RC into programming mode and load up some test programs. They loaded fine and everything worked for about 5 to 10 min, before the RC would go back the original state described above.
On one occassion, a few seconds after a fresh program was loaded, the RC went back to the non-functioning state. All the wires were connected correctly, nothing, nothing was shorting anywhere.
Though I have been drilling holes with the components in place, I took great care in not getting any metal shavings anywhere where it can short a circuit.
