Defining/Setting a motor in Java

[iSpotix]

I have always written it in one line directly under the class statement not in robotinit.

Talon motor = new Talon(0);

Your problem may be from splitting it up.

That shouldn't cause it, his motor reference would just be null prior to calling robotInit().

The error stack shows Robot.java:31, meaning line 31. You don't have 31 lines posted in your thread.

And you're missing a curly brace to close the class. The above by itself wouldn't compile.

That's because I had a bunch of blank space and comments that I got rid of when I copied and pasted the code here

I'm no longer getting errors in the console after moving to teleopPeriodic. But the motors still won't move.

I checked the motors earlier by hooking them up to our battery. They work fine...

I am having the same issue. I am trying to execute EXTREMELY basic code (operating a Victor). Yet, whenever I try to execute the code, nothing happens and my console gives no hints. Even the sample code does nothing to the robot right now. It successfully deploys yet does nothing.

Nevermind. It was a stupid electrical error. I thought I had checked the system thoroughly but apparently I hadn't.

Thanks for letting me know it wasn't the code's fault.
