VictorSP Set Not Accurate

[wvauclain]

Whenever I use a VictorSP, at least in sim, the motor controller gets set to what it needs to be minus 0.05, so if I were to simply access both of them in the registrar, on the sim RoboRIO their signal immediately drops to -0.05. You can sets them to -1 just fine, but the maximum signal strength a VictorSP can be set to is 0.94.

I can confirm that this bug is in Toast for me too.

This is due to each Motor Controller having it's own PWM timings. What we do is we patch PWM, not the Motor Controller. We times this by a rough value to get approximately what each controller is running at within a reasonable margin of error. It's not exact, but it's the closest we can get without patching 'front-end classes'.

So this means that the error is simply a problem with the simulator, and will not be present on the RoboRIO itself?

Correct. Realistically, a difference that small would not cause an issue,
as it is too small for most motors / controllers
