Re: problem with motors and programs

With Victor motors, they do indeed give out light for diagnostics. Just the same as Jaguars, actually.

Blinking orange - No input
Red - backwards
Green - forwards

If you have your dashboard coded (you can just use the sample if you haven't already), you can actually get a feed from PWM channels 1-10, typically under Slot 4. If your light is red, the dashboard should show whatever channel you have your victor plugged in to as a meter going down.
