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

I have to agree with Al on this one.

Team 1523 has successfully run FP motors with VEX controllers and Victors with no problem.

Just make sure your PWM cables are inserted properly and securely. The pinout on the VEX is a little confusing since they normally run with 4 wire instead of 3 with the IFI controller. ( Requires a custom-made cable)

Also, use a fuse block on the motor to keep everything protected.
