Re: need a simple motor program

you're right, doubling the value didn't help. it has the same behavior. wiring and all that looks good and everything works as expected (lights, blinkies, indicators) except it is slow.

Re: need a simple motor program

Is it a new motor, possibly damaged?
That's the only other thing that comes to mind.

At full speed you should be able to test with a multi-meter to see if the motor's receiving the full 12v or close to it. Readings at other speeds won't come out right without a more sophisticated meter.

Re: need a simple motor program

thats the only thing i can think of is a bad motor or controller. i'm gonna swap them out at the shop monday and see if something happens. this victor came out of an "old box" and may have went bad. might just switch it with a jaguar. thanks for the help. i really appreciate it.

Re: need a simple motor program

If the dashboard PWM isn't showing full value, then the problem is not on the robot side.
