We have a serious problem with our jaguars. We cannot run the motors forward. We tested the motors directly with the battery and got them to move both way. the lights on the jaguars show green. But when we probe the output of the jaguars (m+ m-) we get 0 volts. when the lights are red we get -10. On the victors we got +12. Is anyone else having this issue? All electronic components are mounted on a poly-carbonate board.

Sounds to me like the limit switch inputs on the Jaguar may not be properly jumpered. Check that both jumpers are installed correctly according to the Jaguar guide here (http://www.luminarymicro.com/index.php?option=com_remository&func=download&id=1127&chk=8e13857db120fa14fb4a0c98ea0cc379&Itemid=591).

They are correctly installed, this occured while we were driving it all of a sudden stopped working.

Maybe you lost a FET or a cold solider issue.

Yeah i've been having the same problem, just on my benchtest i have had 2 of the 4 jaguars fail on me. it seems that if i hold it at full speed forward it ends up burning up. afterwards the forward turns green but the motor doesn't move ( reads +0 volts) and it will turn red going reverse and reads -10 volts. So you're definitely not the only one having this problem. Anyone find a solution?
