Jaguar Powers motor with no signal!!!!!

Yesterday i was wiring our robot and i wanted to test to make sure that the Jags had power and when I powered up the robot only one Jaguer started running for some reason. Does anyone know why this would happen????? NO ONE WAS INJURED OR HURT!!!

no quite the opposite they supplied power through the jags and powered our CIMS with no signal but only one jag did this i dont know why.

Check to make sure you wired the jag correctly - if you hooked the motor inputs to power, and the motor to the power inputs, this will happen (and the Jag will be fried).

Re: Jaguar Powers motor with no signal!!!!!

if your jags are getting power and they are neutral they should have an amber light

You know what stinks? Doing that to all four jags on your drive train at the same time! :eek:

Re: Jaguar Powers motor with no signal!!!!!

we are only using 2 jags with our drivetrain since there are only 2 CIMS on our drivetrain. we figured out the problem was that i mounted them wrong which led me to wire it wrong dont worry the jags and cims both still work!!!

If it acts up in the future, it is most likely from damage it sustained when connected improperly.
