Re: New Programming Core needs help with simple motor control

Ok, so I have created a project that has the template code. I have followed the instructions found here. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14723 In addition to completing the simple motor control vi and running it. I have also packaged the entire template project and deployed it to the Crio. I then open up the driver station that installs with the update and attempt to run the code in test mode and manually changing values.

The problem is that the Victor 888's are not receiving pwm signal (yellow blinking light). I have done all these same things to the other test rig with the jaguars and its the same problem, no pwm signal (yellow blinking light). Both rigs share none of the same parts and were wired by the same people who wired the robot last year. (In the case of the jaguar robot it was the test rig from last year). All parts have worked before. (In the case of the current rig I am working with that has the Victor 888's, it has been as soon as a few weeks ago).

Again I am completely new to robotics but not to programming or computers. There has to be some step I am missing. I would think though that if I deployed the Template code to the robot (I used the deploy tutorial, I built the code and deployed as startup) that when it prompts to reboot and after it finishes the reboot that RSL would light up in the disabled mode. Nothing lights up. In fact I have yet to do anything that has enabled me to get the RSL to light up. Attached is pics of what I have been doing.

Also I removed the 9472 and Ill figure out what slot it needs to be in later.
