The IR board is to send commands, not state. Put a software latch or low pass filter in.
It is not directly tied to a victor through software. We have it setup to where if it detects that a button is pressed, then it runs a loop 10 times that runs the motors. This is not a coding issues at all. It worked perfectly for about 10 minutes. The IR board will not power on.
