Blinkin not Detecting PWM signal but the shuffle board livewindow shows its sending pwm

Technical Programming

Our team is currently trying to use Rev blinkins to control LEDs. The code is sending a PWM signal but the blinkin still has a flashing blue status light meaning that it doesn’t have a valid PWM signal. The live window shows that its sending a PWM value of 1437. Here is the code we are using to control the blinkin Skip-5.12/src/main/java/frc/robot/Feedback/LED at master · WHS-FRC-3467/Skip-5.12 · GitHub

I believe the documentation says to use a new Spark(Id)

Like legoguy1000 said, your BlinkinDriver class should probably either extend or construct the PWM Spark class instead of trying to deal with the PWM controls yourself

We tried spark earlier in the season but it wasn’t working. Turns out the PWM wire was just plugged in backwards, but the code works.
