Help! No communication with Victors.
Here is the back-story: We were driving around yesterday with 6 talons on our drive-train and 2 victors controlling our intake and were going pretty hard until we fried our PDB board. Today, we took apart the electronics board, replaced the PDB plugged everything in and we are now having trouble with our victors.
NOTE: For all the tests- All of the talons and victors have power as the lights are solid for talons and blinky for victors.
The problem: The victors are remaining blinky orange and are not receiving signal while the talons are receiving signal and are solid orange.
What we have tried:
-We traded out victors and used ones that we know worked (took one from an electronics test panel and one from a practice robot)
-We switched the PWMs in the victors with the ones in the talons and the talons still work with those cables and those PWM spots.
-We unplugged and replugged 3 different brand new PWM cables into the victors and we got them perfectly before and know how to do the PWMs well.
-We switched the PWM slots in the code and they still do not work but when the talons are plugged in they still do work
-We made sure they are all have the right designation in code for the type of speed controller
-We spent 15 minutes on the phone with our ORNL electronic engineer mentor who suggested all the same tests that I already tried.
We are a bit panicked as we were running around perfectly yesterday and now we are completely stopped for the entirety of today. Hopefully we get a quick answer- Thank you guys!!!
