The RoboRIO dashboard? You mean in the self-test thing?

There's one more difference in their code and your code: You call reverseOutput, they call reverseSensor. Might make a difference?

Are you using the MagEncoder, or a different sensor?

Unfortunately, I don't own the hardware for this device, so I can't perform a test. I'm fairly certain getSpeed worked last year though. What does .get() return? Also, you might try seeing what getEncVelocity() returns.
