Re: Motors Don't Run

The probability that you have received 4 bad Victors is simply astronomical.

If you have good PWM cable connections (see previous posts by Dan and I) and power to your Victor, then the problem is almost certainly in your software.

Let us assume that you have CIM/Victor #1 plugged into pwm01 and, in the software, you are controlling it by p1_y: You can try to (1) plug a servo into pwm01 and see if you are controlling it or (2) put a printf statement next to your code statement to indicate to you that you are actually getting to that statement.

Your Victors are not bad. I guarantee it...

Best of luck.

Mike
