Please note this in your read me. I Was using a PWM splitter off of one pin, and because it provides the Victors with less than 5v off of the arduino pin (Right around 3.3 v per Victor). This is not enough to supply a usable PWM signal to the victor. I added 5v to the PWM cable and it worked perfectly.  I would venture to guess that the Victor draws from the 5v rail on the PWM cable for extra power if the PWM signal isn't 5v. Or something like that. But please note that you need the 5v Rail if you are are using a PWM splitter.\r\n\r\n\r\nI fixed this by just setting a pin to HIGH in Void Setup"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hatsunearu/arduino-victor888-controller/issues/comments/226259984","html_url":"https://github.com/hatsunearu/arduino-victor888-controller/issues/1#issuecomment-226259984","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hatsunearu/arduino-victor888-controller/issues/1","id":226259984,"user":{"login":"hatsunearu","id":2360468,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2360468?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu","html_url":"https://github.com/hatsunearu","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hatsunearu/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-15T17:29:45Z","updated_at":"2016-06-15T17:29:45Z","body":"Ah... I think I know what's going on.\r\nLooks like the Victor is being parasitically powered using the ESD protection diode/parasitic diode through the PWM pin, if Vcc is not powered. If you're wondering what this is, here is [a great video by EEVBlog about this issue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yFh7Vv0Paw).\r\n\r\nI'm going to update the readme once more to address this point.\r\n\r\nIt's really VDD, VDD is for CMOS (~= Digital) circuits, like the Arduino and the Victor."}}
