Re: PWMs not outputting in Autonomous

Anyway, using that test, the Victor was blinking yellow from PWMs 1 - 12, but it was green from PWMs 13 - 16, and yet all 16 of them were reading 254, so we think it has to be initialization or something to that effect. Thanks for the suggestion.
If they read 254 on the Dashboard then I would hazard that it is an electrical problem, not strictly software. Did you use this Dashboard, plugged into your OI, to test?

On last possible test I can think of would be to try this year's FRC plugged into some of the Victors on last year's 'bot. I am assuming at this point that everything else about autonomous work? (eg. analog inputs, digital in/outputs, etc.)

If you happen to be in charge of electrical as well, I'm sorry, but I can't really tell you how to proceed from here, other than maybe trying this year's speed controllers on last year's bot.

Good luck again (it's starting to sound like you need it),
