Front two motors will not wheels
 

My front two motors will not move but my two rear motors will. I have programmed all 4 motors into FRC LabVIEW, i have made sure that all wires for each motors are in their right place, and both front motors will not move at all :( and we are using Jaguars

a couple of things.

1. post your code if you can. It will help folks see what you are doing.

2. do all of the jags lights go solid when you enable the robot? IF they continue to blink, you have something wrong. It may be as simple as your PWM's are in backward.


Check. and get back to us :-)

which code like my begin vi. teleop or all of it

All of it.

Make sure you have 12V of power going to the Digital Sidecar, not just 5V. We had a similar problem last year because we didn't give the Sidecar enough voltage.

if you could post your begin.vi, teleop.vi and any others controlling the drive i think most of the problems if any could be found.

Put a voltmeter on the output terminals of the jags to see if they are working correctly. For us the jaguars go bad all the time. I'd recommend Victors in the future

1. Post the code if you can.
2. Check if all three lights on the digital slidecard is green. If its not then you are giving it 5V which should be for the camera.
3. If you are moving a motor see if its a solid color or if its still binking yellow. If its blinking then the PWM wires are backwards.
4.If its says error 44037 then the PMW is not even on the correct places because it cant read it.
5. Make sure to make a new project in LABVIEW and then test it to see if its a mechanical or program problem
6. Look at the code error in diagnosis and look them up to start fixing them.

If you need any more help, please ask. :cool:

How are the lights on the Jaguars behaving?
