Re: Lights on Spikes and Vics

Correct me if I'm wrong…

For the Victors:

Solid Orange - receiving a neutral PWM signal (127)
Blinking Orange - receiving no signal (i.e., disconnected, robot controller in program mode, or dongle in Disable position)

Green - Full (or close to) forward
Red - Full (or close to) reverse

Off - between 127 and full forwards or between 127 and full reverse

For the Spikes:

Solid Orange - neutral, receiving power
Green - forwards (V+ connected to M+, V- connected to M-)
Red - backwards (V+ connected to M-, V- connected to M+)
Off - not receiving power OR both on (only useful if using a Spike for multiple solenoids: V+ connected to both M+ and M-)



Definitely pay attention to the lights on the Victors, as they can help you diagnose problems like bad PWM cables and incorrect connections.
