Exclamation HELP! Program cable disconnected...
So I was programming yesterday night and started downloading some code, and some genius member of our team decided to trip over the program cable, yanking it out. After this, the robot controller won't get out of program mode, and I can't get it to take any code... Can I fix it somehow, because time is of the essence...

Re: HELP! Program cable disconnected...
I've had that happen a few times. I press the reset button and then hold the program button for a second (the light won't change). I'm then able to re-download the program.

Re: HELP! Program cable disconnected...
There's some combination of buttons you can press that will do some larger reset. It's hidden on the IFI website. Also try downloading the default code.

Hold down reset and programming buttons, release reset and hold down programming button for another 10 seconds. It goes into a diagnostic mode from which you can reprogram.
