Question I cannot move motors with Victor or Jaguars



Me and my team was doing a project related to moving a robot with a phone using an app. I put together the electrical parts on the chassis of the robot about seven months ago and it worked fine. But now when we try to move the robot, it would not move. I spent hours trying to figure this out. I first thought this was a code failure and I checked the code (the code is LabVIEW coding ). I have tweaked it a little bit and built the code again. It has code and communication but it still does not move ( take note that its getting connection through an Ethernet cable ). I changed the CRIO, the slot containing code and rebuilt the code again, PWM's, Jaguars to Victors, Sidecar, Wago's ( I think that's what you call them ), wires, and even the Amp Fuses. I have also changed the slots of the wires and PWM's. I have tested the motors to see if they work without code and they work. Apparently, when the robot is enabled, it is in a neutral state ( both Jaguars and Victors has slow flashing yellow light ) in which I cannot move them. Both of the Joysticks work. I had a similar problem with our other robot. It worked fine before and after competition but a couple of months ago, only the Victor didn't work. But now the right motor would not move, only the left. The Jaguar is in the same neutral state. I used the same code on this robot and put it on the other robot's code slot ( forgot what its called ). I put this code slot into our competition robot to see if it would move. None of the code worked except for the solenoid. Am I building the code wrong? I am pretty sure its not the code though but I don't understand this. May someone please give me suggestions ?
