Potential MotorOuput.vi bug
We've recognized that using MotorController references and their associated output VIs have limited the pwm signall to about 60% maximum values. Although we were sending a 1 to motoroutput.vi, the talon was only outputting about 7V. We switched to a PWM reference, sent 255 to the same channel, and without recalibrating, our talon outputted 12V. We aren't sure if this is a WPILib glitch or if we did something else wrong, but I feel like a potential 40% increase in power may be worthy of a look.
