We are testing our program for Qualifier tournament. We configured two motor controllers, but when we run the program
Motor[lift] is not working. Please help. Following is the code:
#pragma config(Hubs, S1, HTMotor, HTMotor, none, none)
#pragma config(Sensor, S1, , sensorI2CMuxController)
#pragma config(Sensor, S2, touch, sensorTouch)
#pragma config(Sensor, S3, light, sensorLightActive)
#pragma config(Sensor, S4, sonar, sensorSONAR)
#pragma config(Motor, mtr_S1_C1_1, leftMotor, tmotorTetrix, openLoop, encoder)
#pragma config(Motor, mtr_S1_C1_2, rightMotor, tmotorTetrix, openLoop, reversed, encoder)
#pragma config(Motor, mtr_S1_C2_1, lift, tmotorTetrix, openLoop, encoder)
#pragma config(Motor, mtr_S1_C2_2, motorG, tmotorTetrix, openLoop)

if(abs(joystick.joy1_y1) < threshold)

You said the lift wasn't working. Is it possible that it has too great a load to move with power 25? Does it work with greater power values? What's your gearing setup?

Thank you very much. We got it.
