good luck fixing the victors!

The control system is designed to allow wireless control of the ROBOTS. The Driver Station software, FirstTouch I/O module, cRIO-FRC, speed controllers, relay modules, radio, and batteries shall not be tampered with, modified, or adjusted in any way (tampering includes drilling, cutting, machining, gluing, rewiring, disassembling, etc.), with the following exceptions:
D.The supplied fans attached to speed controllers may be powered from the power input terminals.

They have allowed it in the past years, once again it is allowed this year.

Sorry, but that is not true. The Victor installation instruction recommends that the fan be wired directly to the input terminals on the Victor. Robot rules allow, but do not require, that fans may be wired to a dedicated 20 amp breaker. I do not recommend the dedicated breaker method.

Cilgin,
If you have another victor that is working, swap the working PWM with the Victor that you do not believe is working. If that change works, then you may have your Victor PWM connected to the wrong PWM output on the DSC. Make sure that the output matches your software. Use a flashlight it is hard to see the pins in the dark.
As a hint on the fan wiring. If you turn the fan crimp terminals upside down, then insert the screw through the two terminals, you can make the wiring look much cleaner.

There are many parts of the labview framework where you should not have a while loop. Telop.vi is one of them. Where is the code located that you took a picture of?
