Go to Post They see us come into school looking like zombies, and they know that some people start smelling like chain lube and such...but for the most part, they don't realize that for a lot of us, there is a deep commitment to our team that we do a very large amount of work for that team. - JakeGallagher [more]

That tells me the problem is in the code somewhere. Are you using LabVIEW? Are you periodically setting the motor value (i.e. every 100 ms or so)?
