CIM->Victor 884->Arduino not working

[jamie_1930]

I'm trying to control a CIM Motor (Foward, Reverse, Stop, Etc.) with a Victor 884 controlled by an Arduino Uno Microcontroller. So far I've tried a couple different things and well I'm fed up and figured I'd show you guys how everything is hooked up to see if someone see's what I'm doing wrong.

Before you guys respond I want to set a few things: I'm not going to use a Crio I'm not going to use the IFI control system I'm not using a FIRST control system. It doesn't matter if any of this is against FIRST rules I'm not doing this for FIRST. However despite the fact that this is not for FIRST I'm going to ask the questions here because it contains the largest amount of people that could help.


This is how everything was hooked up originally and I've also tried hooking up a mosfet powered by the 5v line of the arduino. And I've also tried putting a 5v regulator powered by the FRC battery and then using the 5v line to power a mosfet to boost the signal to the victor, but everytime the victor just flashes orange (no pwm)
