Re: Digital Side Car Issue with Encoder

My guess is a chassis isolation fault is affecting one of the encoder channels. Something down stream of an actuator controller (Jaguar, Victor, Talon, Spike, Solenoid Breakout, etc) is asserting a voltage on the chassis (hopefully the battery return voltage).

The value "chatter" tells us two things: The software is fine, since things are moving, and one pin is stuck in one position (high or low).
