Re: Victor 884 PWM problem

On our test robot we had one channel to a Jag suddenly stop working. It turned out the cable between the cRIO digital module and the DSC had become slightly askew. Other PWM channels both before and after it on the DSC worked fine. You may want to check the cable is still fully seated. (especially if your robot has been going over the bumps at high speed )

There were two threaded standoffs for the Digital Sidecar in the Kit of Parts (top of page 14 of the checklist). They are there to let you connect the 37-pin cable firmly.

Re: Victor 884 PWM problem

Thanks everyone for the speedy replies!

just to let you all know that it was mostly a programming problem, but neither the programmers nor the electricians are exactly sure what it is.

but it does work now.
