TalonSRX Reverse Output

[bohdand]

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a problem we are having with the TalonSRX. We are trying to make the motor run backwards under closed loop speed control and we are unable to do it. Specifically, using CTRE Magnetic encoder, and the sample Java code from CTRE that we downloaded from GitHub. We are able to run the motor in the forward (green lights on Talon) no problem, but when we set reverseOutput() True the motor stops running (Talon lights stay orange).

At first we thought the problem was that we were using 2017 java code but 2016 Talon firmware (2.0) so we updated the Talon to 2017 version firmware 2.20 and we still have the same problem. We tried reverseSensor() also with no luck.

Has anyone seen this problem?

Any help is appreciated.
