Go to Post At first blush, people don't need to know about GP any more than they need to know gear ratios, screw classifications, or LabVIEW. It's about Inspiration. It's about Recognition. It's about Science and Technology. That's all it's For; any more than that is just gravy. - Taylor [more]

You shouldn't do that. You should calibrate the victors. See IFI documentation.

Been there. Done that. All four Victors used for the drive system had identical outputs after calibration, and their zero value was 132. I can't speak for every Victor in the world, but our gyro autonomous code and our manual PID program both drive straight now.

Just my opinion. Professional driver on closed course. Do not try this at home. Read the manual. Your mileage may vary.
