Go to Post Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps. - Ninja_Bait [more]

Motor Controller Issues

Rookie and I hope easily fixed issue.

Trying to get the basic drive train going. Using labview and loaded up the base cRio project and from what I can tell it has the default program to drive two motor controllers using arcade joystick. The problem I have is that one of my Victor's doesn't seem to be working correctly. When the program is initialized, the motor runs full power for about .5 seconds, then sporadically when the joystick is in different positions it will run full power or nothing.

I have switched pwm ports, and motors on the motor controllers. The same thing happens so I can assume that it is not programming since it didn't switch to the other motor when I switched pwm ports. I tried calibration, but that didn't do anything different.

Anybody have any ideas? I intend to swap out the one victor for the jaquar even thought I doubt that is a great scenario with drive motors controlled by two different types of controllers.

Thanks.
