REV Spark Max sending error 4 & 5

our team has been experiencing an issue with implementing the spark max code, the code will compile but sends error 4 & 5 to the Roborio. The code however will enable but will also send the error message error 4. Here’s our code

Any help would be appreciated

FWIW, while something like a GitHub link to your code is best, you can get much better formatting by putting a line with just “```java” before your code, and a line with just “```” after it. These have three of the “backtick” characters (on the same key with “~” on most US keyboards).

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by these errors – a screenshot, cut-and-paste, or even a picture could be helpful. Also, was is the robot doing (or not doing) that you want it to do?
