Re: Victor 888 "y" cable issues

We noticed the same thing with 888s. My suspicion is the 888's may have significantly lower "deadband" than the 884s, making them much more susceptible to slight variations in PWM input. If the calibration is slightly different between the victors, one might be seeing "neutral" while the other sees "+1% power". It didn't seem to affect our performance much- full forward on the joysticks gave us the green LED, full reverse gave us the red LED, just the neutral position seems to be slightly off. Gently bumping the joysticks one way or the other would reverse which 888 didn't have the orange neutral LED, and on occasion when the joysticks came to rest, both would be orange.

We haven't tried calibrating them yet, but based on what we observed of the symptoms, it may solve the problem.
