Why would you expect them to know anything? I expect them to get most everything wrong. MOST PEOPLE are stupid. Most sellers are only interested in sales. Most people have the attention span of a 2 year old. They listen to the first 5 words and they "know" it all..

Try going to the mcdonalds and ordering a burger without that green thing. Or without mayo.
I garantee you will get the wrong thing. Over and over. Been doing that for years. You get plain burger. Burger with no cheese. Burger with no fries. Wrong meal altogether. Is too complicated for them. They do not listen. They hear 3 words and make up the rest.

Average IQ is 100. Thats already pretty dumb. The average person is not very bright can barely make up a logical sentence. And HALF the population are below even that level by definition... And this nonsense they all shout loudly about on social media or garbage websites meant as ad revenue farms is where AI gets its "knowledge" from. So ignore that garbage too. :lol:

I have a VERY CLEAR repeat prescription with 6 items. Quantity. Item name and ID number. I send that to my doctors by email every 28 days. In 29 years it hasnt changed. The doctors get it WRONG approximately half the time. Forget to process it avery 4 or 5 times. Send it to the wrong supplier (which I clearly marked) 3 or 4 times a year. When I call to tell them they failed yet again, they say I am rude. I dont swear I dont raise my voice. I just point out that they failed yet again to do the same simple thing. They hang up, they send me threatening letters accusing me of abuse etc. What is really happening is that they are too STUPID to do a trivially simple thing correctly. And when I point that out that makes ME the problem...

So if the batteries were plugged with the joystick come on? Or do the motors need to be plugged in also? Thanks

It can be powered up without motors connected. But it will show an error code. You can still program it, if you want.

You can do even better. Just power it using the XLR charge port. That's what I do to program it. You don't even need a battery then.

You can do that. With a few provisos.

A typical mobility charger wont work unless it sees above 18 to 20 volts.
A set of batteries will work, but on start up there are some big capacitors inside that cause a big spark and a very high momentary current of much more than that 12A charge port, and joystick wiring were designed for. So you might damage something.

Perfectly safe if you use a low current 24 to 28V power supply like for e.g the ZXD with max current set between 4 and 12A. Not more.
