Re: Robot Communications dies as Motor speed increase

Besides the aforementioned power issues, the some gameport adapter power connectors show a sensitivity to vibration. Try running the robot over a small bump (like a wooden dowel) and see if it is an issue for you. If so, strain relief the connector.

Re: Robot Communications dies as Motor speed increase

Thanks for the advice we attached the adapter to the correct area and it works fine. We can go at any speed.

Mike Betts thanks for the advice you gave because we just went of a bump and I slammed the bot down pretty hard and the adapter shut off. We will strain relief the connectors tomorrow.
