Re: Odd PWM problem (Can't get full green)

Alan, I'm sorry you're having the same problem but I'm glad we're not the only ones now. Your issue sounds identical.

Gdeaver, good catch. I left that off the list but we did change it with a known good cable.

Al, we are watching the PWM outputs on the print lines and getting identical results. We are using USB joysticks and we don't have the problem when we move to CAN. I find it hard to believe that it's the joysticks or the program. We calibrate it the same way we test it. Thanks for the ideas though.

This afternoon we'll have a scope and I can post more results. I'm also going to try to configure them as Victor objects in the code and calibrate to that. If more than one team is having this issues I wonder if it's a problem with the cRIO image itself or somewhere in the Jaguar definition in WPILIB.
