Re: Programming Victor 884 control

It sounds like you need some good old fashioned debugging, since one part is obviously not working right.
1. Try different values for your pwm output (i.e. hook it up to a joystick input). If it works for different values, try calibrating the victor
2. Try running the victor without a motor attached, if it works the motor is screwy
3. Try a different victor, if it works then the first victor is screwy
4. Try it on a different pwm output, if it works you either have a logic error or a broken RC.

You don't necessarily need to do them in that order, typically start with the easiest one to test. That would be disconnecting the motor.
