Programming the Jaguars

Hey everybody,

We just finished making our custom gearboxes and mounts for the propellors that will drive our robot. We have the Jaguars hooked up, and the props connected to those. All of the electrical is right, and we have a PWM connecting the Jaguar to PWM 1 on the Sidecar attached to Input 4 on the cRIO. We have programmed a program, and deployed it on the robot. When we set the throttle to max, the Jaguar activates (the LED turns solid green), and the fan begins turning at 2 RPM. Any ideas as to why the prop isn't moving at the speed we want it to?

Re: Programming the Jaguars

That would probably be a mechanical issue not a programming issue.
The battery could be weak, but if the Jaguar is showing green, programming is giving it's all.
