Re: Robot behaving strangely

Are all 3 lights on your Digital Sidecar brightly lit? Try replacing the y cables with individual PWM cables and see if it clears up. It may be a bad cable, but something makes me think its more than that.

from what he said:

Quote:
I changed which pwm for each side in the program.(i.e. pwm 2 for the left is now pwm 1 for the left) When doing this, the other side will now move
so a change in the software changes the behvarios so it sounds like software issue not hardware

Darn my short term memory

Are you hard wiring your robot to code/drive with? We have run into a problem before when other members were driving a robot from the past year. That driver station then connected to the robot we were programming and about drove it off the table.

If that is not the case, I can't think of a half decent reason it would do that, especially after changing the PWM ports.
