Re: Help! Labview manipulator code doesn't function!

It wouldn't be a long/short pulse issue. The actual PWM signal is generated by the FPGA. The Motor Sets are just passing their requests to the FPGA.
It might be more along the line of the new joystick entry starts getting populated in parallel with Teleop from the last command packet and it only gets as far as the axis and button 1 before Teleop has read past the data and is getting zeros for the rest of the unpopulated fields.

But then again, until you test everything, it could also be a broken joystick.
