[FTC]: [FTC] Motor Controller problems

Is anyone else having motor controller problems? Ours seems to run the big motor (from the kit) either full on or off. We looked at the output signal with a scope and no matter what values we use in RobotC, we don't seem to get PWM, just on (12V) or off (0V) or full reverse (-12V). Is it possible we have a bad motor controller? Could it be user error?
