Re: RC getting spontaneously disabled

Al - the link I gave poinited to another post with our exact problem. We tried to fix the code according to what was posted, but to no avail.

Another thing interesting about this problem is that it only happens with certain versions of the code. The default code doesn't do it and neither does the code of 3 of the 4 programmers on the team. It only happens when the head programmer puts in his code, which happens to the master code, complied from all the programmers. So I definitely think this is a code problem, but I'm reluctant to send it in for replacement under the warranty, because these last few days are crucial for testing and we need our RC.

Re: RC getting spontaneously disabled

ok to test to see if the code is the problem try using it in the 2004 robot - the most that can happen is that the robot reacts crazy. that way you can determine if its the RC or the Coding.

if the regional is close to the ship date and the RC is the one causing the problem what you can do is send the old one out and see if IFI can ship the new one to the regional location with all the other spare controllers or borrow one when you get to the regional.

This may sound negative but its one of the many solutions you have left amongst many other options.

Re: RC getting spontaneously disabled

Head programmer here.

The issue is most likely software. There have been many others with the same problem (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=32824 http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=34304).

I think I've solved the problem anyways. If this is the case, I will post when I get to test the robot tomorrow.

<edit> The problem seems to have been solved for now. It was a stray printf that was being called before Initialize_Serial_Comms() was called. Hope that helps anybody else with the issue.</edit>
