Re: Victor with Java on roboRIO

Are the Victor's status LED flashing orange/amber the entire time? If it works for the Talons, but not the Victors, then it's almost guaranteed to be a bad Victor (unlikely), bad cable (unlikely), or bad connection between the cable and Victor (very likely).

Victors are notorious for being difficult to insert the PWM cable straight. Make sure your pins are straight and try to insert the PWM connector housing straight down. If that doesn't work, try pushing it at an angle on the flat side to move the pins side to side. Don't force it down.

I've had times where I'm convinced that the Victor/cable/code was bad, and it turns out that it's the connector not seated properly.
