The motor doesn't work in my program, which has multiple processes running,
but it still doesn't work when i just send the command through IC's
interactive window: motor(1,50).  Nothing special happens except for both
lights coming on.  The motor is just a lego motor, but i have been using it
for about a year without any problems.
I also found out that only the green light comes on, and at a lowered
intensity as it is supposed to, when i try the command without a motor plugged
in.


Thanks,

Bob,

What other code are you running?  What does your motor code look like?  Does
anything get hot when this happens, like the motor control chip, the hex
inverter or the voltage regulator?

I am using a HD with expansion board.  Periodically when I run the motors at
anything less than 100 they spin with very little power and both the red and
green lights on the board light up.  At full power the motors work perfectly
with only the green light lit.  This problem is very odd because sometimes I
can just let the board sit over night and it works the next day.  Any help • or
comments would be appreciated.
