Re: Victor Probelms

You are trying for a Victor solid yellow/orange light while at rest.

Some of the obvious causes:
  • Bad PWM connection
  • Robot disabled
  • Digital Sidecar not connected and powered properly
  • Code not instantiating the PWM output
With a Victor it's usually the PWM cable end that plugs into the Victor that misses the connection inside the plastic housing shroud. If you pull the PWM connect out there, take a look at the pins to see if they are all perfectly straight. Often one or all of the pins are bend by sliding down the outside of the connector recessed and hidden within the housing.
