Problem with the 2005 controller

[Guy_E]

Hi again...

I'm faced with a very strange problem. We have built a new driving system and we want to check it. For that I took the 2005 robot controller and hooked it up to all the necessary things. I downloaded a program to see that it works properly with the RC. The weird thing was that The radio receiver stayed in STANDBY state, and wasn't working properly. I thought it could be that the receiver or the program has some sort of a malfunction, but when I connected the receiver to the 2006 controller it was working fine, with the program I tried to download to the 2005 controller.

I then noticed that there was another problem with the controller. It looked as if it were stuck at programming mode. The Program State LED did not blink and stayed orange, and the 3 lower LEDs were not blinking nor making any light at all. I think there is something wrong with the controller itself.

Has any of you faced such problem before? Is there any solution to it?

Thanks,
Guy
