Radios not getting signals

Our radios stopped transmitting to each other after loading the 2004 Default code into the IFI loader and loading that hex file into the Robot Controller. Now every time I try to download the hex file a dialog box opens and says robot controller cannot be found! Has this happened to anyone and if so, what was done to correct this situation???

Please help!!!!!!!!

Re: Radios not getting signals

Brenda,
Try the procedure listed at IFI's FAQ site here.. We just had to do this to our own controller. I don't know what causes it, but this "hard reset" procedure fixed it.

Re: Radios not getting signals

Hi Dave,

Believe it or not, my work laptop WAS the problem. When I used my personal laptop I was able to load the code with ease. It appears some laptop brands conflict with the RC. This was the case with the PC I use at work.

This was very perplexing to me because I would have never thought the PC could be the problem Thank you so much... now for more challenging endeavors
