    You Reply: Hi,
        I solved the problem and got the motors running...I simply wasn't loading the correct software, but now it's fixed.

  • Topic: Romeo 4WD Power Problem
    You Reply: I'm just getting started with the Romeo board and I found that the board will power on with the USB cable, but not with the 5 AA battery pack, i.e., it doesn't seem to be getting any power from the battery pack.  I checked the battery pack with a voltmeter and it is putting out 7.95 Volts, so I would think there is enough power there to activate the board.  Does this mean the board is bad, i.e., if the board were fried would I be getting any power at all, even from the USB cable?  I can still program the board and control the LEDs via the Arduino software (when the USB is attached).  My main question is, how do I know if the board is bad and I need a new one, or is it just a faulty connection?  I have the VIN=MVIN jumper on the board.
