Re: PWMs not outputting in Autonomous
No, the PWM() only deals with 13-16. Try setting all your PWMs to 254 (disconnect any motors first!) and then power up and go into autonomous. Take the PWM cable coming from your Victor and move it up from 1 through 12, and see if the light on the Victor stays blinking orange or if it changes to green or red. If so, then one of your outputs may be bad. If not, switch cables and repeat. I have encountered several bad cables this year. If none of your cables working, switch Victors. The connection from the cable to the Victor is commonly loose on our 'bot this year too.

If none of these work, use the dashboard program (either IFI's or Sean Witte (sp?)) and see if they read 254 or not.

I take it that the PWMs work fine in Teleoperated mode?

Good luck,
Robinson
