Re: Victor Calibration

OK,
So I am guessing that you calibrated the controller and the you are seeing the appropriate Red and Green LED at the joystick ends. If you are not getting the motor to move be sure that the motor leads are solidly attached to both M+ and M- on the controller. You cannot return the motor common (black wire) to the common ground of the robot. It must return to the speed controller.

If you did not calibrate the controller after you made the software change, you must do so now. When you calibrated the controller before you may have confused the controller input range.
