Re: Unable to get robot to move using sample program
Is the Victor in PWM slot 1 on the RIO? A common mistake is the use of PWM slot 0 as 1; that is a vestige in the minds of everyone who transitioned from programming the cRIO to the roboRIO. Check all wiring, particularly the PWM cables. We had a problem where the PWM cables' male ends were not long enough to fit into the Victors. Pulling on the ends slightly with a pair of pliers solved that problem. Please tell us what the Victor's light is like (solid or flashing) when enabling the robot.
