I was wondering when this was going to come up. You probably didn't set
the Spybot type properly. If you look closely, all the Spybots except
Snaptrax have a simple geartrain that reverses the motor direction. Snaptrax
drives things right off the motor shaft.
On the main SMART home screen, click the gray button in the "communicator"
in the lower left side of the display. This is the Spybot Status screen and
shows the battery status and your Spybot's nickname etc.
Where the Spybot type is shown, select Gigamesh and download the default
program. Your Gigamesh should now work properly...
Hope this helps...
