Hb25- Initialzing Via A Power Cycle

I have had a little issue with using the Parallaz HB25 motor controllers I use with "Cy". Maybe someone could shed some light on this. It would seem every time I go to power up the robot, I seem to have to cycle the power to the HB25's a "second" time before they will work with EZB. Power to the HB25 and Parallaz drive motors is the required 12V via a 7A SLA. I use the continous servo control with these, and generally have no problem with controlling them with scripts and such, but only after I have cycled the power to them the second time. One thing to note, I do have a small delay built in to initalize the HB25's as per Parallax's recommendation, and have tried a longer init and a shorter init times, with no difference in the result. I know others use these here too, so any ideas on whats going on? I have already looked thru here but could not find an answer to this so far. Thanks!

Thanks Dave

So I can solder it now? This will solve my issue with the parrolax motor controller?

@Ellis,

Seems good, it's a 1K resistor ? Good to go.
