Motor controlled by Talon won't turn off

[muaddib42]

I have been programming our robot with Java and for some reason when I set the motor power to 0, the motor continuously spins. I am not sure why. If anyone has any ideas that would be very helpful.

It's because it's still getting power

But seriously, you need to provide more detail.

Maybe post your code.

Does it still run when the robot is disabled??

Nope. When I run talon.get() it also returns 0.

The relevant block of code is here:

public void stopSpeedControl() {
DebugLog.log(DebugLog.LVL_DEBUG, this, "Talon GET: "+this.talon.get());
this.talon.set(0);
this.spdControl.cancelEvent();
this.spdControlEnabled = false;
}

I have confirmed that it has entered this block of code.

There may be other code which is turning it back on.

Is the motor spinning 100% speed or just slow? If they're going 100%, its probably code, which is outside my knowledge range.

If they're just spinning slow or pulsing, I'd recommend doing a calibration of the Talons. The calibration procedure can be found on page 7 of http://crosstheroadelectronics.com/T...Manual_1_2.pdf
