I’ve got the radio shack usb 2 serial adapter, the orange interface box and a serial cable connecting my PC to my controller.
if i turn on my vex while the cable is connected my batter operation light blinks a few times then stays solid. my pgrm status light never turns on.
if i press the orange box button i get nothing.
I have 2 vex controllers and they both work the same
from within the IFI/intelitek loader (which i updated to the newest version (http://www.vexlabs.com/vex-robotics-downloads.shtml)) I can click options → controller verification and it says vex, verification complete.
but i get the std message “make sure power is on and serial cable connected” when i try to download the master code.
I have another thread open ([https://vexforum.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=10150) but I no longer believe the problem is in my cabling since i do get the verification message.
if anyone can assist, I would greatly appreciate it.](https://vexforum.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=10150) but I no longer believe the problem is in my cabling since i do get the verification message.)
