Re: Stalling the BaneBot 775 motors

Hmm, seems like there's more to this than either of us are accounting for - seems inductance and chopping frequency play a part in this too
I hate Inductance... and capacitance...

I still think that a 20% output command sent to a Jaguar will result in a ~20% power output for that motor and, 20% of power consumption at stall.

In any case- Stalled motor = heat buildup = bad
