EDIT: Also, going to try swapping victors for the Talons.
Make sure you do these one at a time. This way if the issue gets resolved after swapping one thing, you can trace the problem to a specific item.

Re: Issue with Talons

I would interpret the LED change as a sign that the PWM signal did in fact change state. However, I would like to see Mike C weigh in on this.

After printing out the voltage values being sent to the talons to the console, we found nothing that suggests the PWM is changing direction. This leads us to believe it is something other than the code and likely down stream from the cRio causing the PWM signal to flip the other way for an instant.
