Re: 1 Encoder, 2 Jaguars
I was testing this today (driving the slave Jaguar with Vcomp mode), and had little success. The slave motor kept jumping all around. The ramp didn't help.

I think the issue is inaccuracy in the voltage measurement of the Jaguar. The one situation where it worked well was at full power.
Another issue may be bugs in the Vcomp mode.

Perhaps the %Vbus mode will work better.
