Problems with Victor 884

The difference between the victor, jaguar, and servo code will not keep any of them from receiving a signal if programmed for another type. If a Victor is programmed with the Jaguar class, the victor's output will saturate very early. If a Jaguar is programmed with the victor class, the Jaguar's output will never saturate. The deadbands and neutral points will also be a little off.

I'd guess that the problem is that the PWM cables aren't plugged in fully on the Victor. It can be quite difficult to get it in, because of the retaining features.
