Re: Victor turning on and off under load, with non-IFI microcontroller

Ryan,
It seems to me that the PWM output of the VEX controller needs an interface device to run a Victor. Perhaps someone will read this and comment before I have a chance to go look it up. The most recent FP motor stalls at 56 amps so I don't think that is the problem. It really looks like the Victor is unhappy with the PWM signal.
