So, no matter how we try to control 5 or more motors at once, none of them work. For example, if we just run drive code (for a total of 4 motors) it works perfectly fine, no problems. However, if we try to add in code for a mechanism that requires a single motor (going up to 5) neither that mechanism or any of the drive motors run. We have tried this with 5 single motors at a time, 4 in drive and 1 stand alone, or even a 4 motor system and a 2 motor system.
A second problem is in our basic drive code. Our drive system is mechanum, and it works fine, for the most part. We can drive forward, backward, left, right, and we can rotate left. However, once we get past about .23 power for rotating right in the Holonomic Drive (Cartesian), it causes all 4 motors to stop working. To fix it, we need to redeploy the code.
We bought a new cable (the one that came was assembled wrong, we tried to fix it, and broke it). So I have to imagine that one works. Also, I do have an older cable I could try swapping in, I will do that. There are quite a few diagnostic messages, but we are being kicked out right now (our supervisor wants to go home :(. ) I will post them first thing tomorrow.
So, we tried a different cable, there are no error messages on the DS, and also we have powered the digital sidecar with a 20 amp breaker. What do you mean by the “Team light?” If you mean the RSL, it is not working :(.
