Re: Victor 884's not behaving the same as Victor 883's
We had tried 3 different 884's and they seemed to each act a little differently. One of our 884's was found to be bad by another team member. We calibrated the 884's and 883's with the joysticks a few times and it didn't seem to make a difference... We used the same method of calibration for the 884's and 883's. Hold the button down...full forward, neutral, full reverse, neutral...release the button.

We looked at both the DC level and the AC signal of the motors. We probed from the negative (black lead) to the positive (red lead) of the motor using a 1X probe. The motors were connected and we were changing the speed in user mode with the joysticks. The output voltages were flat lines with some occasional harmonics in them for all speeds...
