Re: Team Fusion's take on cRIO and LabView

Motors moving by themselves sounds like one of two things. The first one that comes to mind is that the system runs its motors in autonomous mode out of the box -- did someone perhaps flip the switch on the Driver Station from Teleoperated to Autonomous? The other possibility that occurs to me is that you might be reusing Victors that have a non-factory calibration, and what the Digital Sidecar presents as a "neutral" output is actually interpreted by the Victor as a little bit "forward".


The 5v LED on our Power Distribution board flickered and died as we were preparing to connect some 12v wires this afternoon. This sounds like the start of an epidemic.

It was in Teleop for sure, and we were using the really neat new Jaguars! I'm going with Kevin's idea.
