Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding
I really need help on this, im using labview to program our robot
Apparently when i download the code to contol the motors that are connected to PMW ports 5 and 6, they dont respond. When in the driver station, it gives me the error of it being invalid, i dont know how to fix this problem, any help and or advice will be really appreciated.:) |
Re: Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding
mind sharing a snippet of your begin.vi and teleop.vi?

sorry but the laptop i program with isn't this one

Try taking a screenshot (or a photo of the screen that shows the blocks and connections clearly), and transferring that to the computer you're posting on.

Although, i used the defualt robot main vi. given in labview and insted of PWM 1 and 2 to be use to move the motors, i switched to 5 and 6 and it wouldnt respond, its the default code with nothing changed.

Re: Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding
What wire are you using for the connection from cRIO - DSC? (if it is the ribbon, make sure it is properly assembled, or try a cable you know works).
Also, do the victors/jaguars have a solid light? or flashing? or any? Are the 3 lights on the DSC lit green too? And is the module in the proper slot of the cRIO (can open Imaging Tool and make sure the one labled 9403 is green). |

They've also been able to run on port 1. |
Re: Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding
also, when i do download the code to run ports 5 and 6, it gives error code
-44061 and that the code is running too slow. any help on how to fix this. |
Re: Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding
Light status: all green on DSC; Jags 1-4 good.

Re: Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding
Yes, thats our status so far, i did disabled our safety config VI's and i dot get the error any longer, but the motors still dont respond

Re: Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding
when you enable the DS, do the Jaguar/Victor lights turn solid (if not, try rotating the PWM wire around, if still does not work then the code isn't properly getting to the Motor Controllers).

It's something in code, I'm reasonably certain--but in that case, why isn't anything showing up on anything higher than Port 4 on the Sidecar? In other words: PWM 1, working. PWM 2, working. PWM 3, working. PWM 4, working. PWM 5 or higher, not working. Using the default code and switching say PWM 1 to PWM 5 doesn't help (though where the switch was made, I don't know). |
Re: Sidecar pwm ports 5 and up aren't responding
I would attempt changing only the PWM back to 1 in the code (and the DSC). And if it works then I guess you have a broken DSC; but if it does not work then it leaves the potential for something else to be the problem (including the rest of the code).
