Too many PWM's shorting out power?
First of all, this could apply to programming, motors, or electrical. I'm a programmer, so i'm going to post this here. If it needs to move somewhere else, someone in authority please do so.

I am programming in this year's LabVIEW.

Okay. We have been putting together a test robot to propel the basketballs into the hoops. We have 4 Jag's running (Drive) and 1 Victor running (Shooter).

All of the Jag's are put into the Digital Sidecar PWM slots 1, 2, 3, and 4.

The Victor is put into PWM slot 5.

When i disable the Victor, and run our Drive code, it runs just fine. No problems, no tinks, nothing. But, when we enable the Victor, and disable the drive code, nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. Could this be something wrong with the sidecar or something wrong with the Victor? All of the code is fine, all of the RefNum's are exactly the same.

Thanks, for any help.
