Re: powering Banebots RS395

Marshall,
Either the Jaguar or Victor can be used with this motor if you need variable speed. If you choose to feed the speed controller with #18 wire, then you can use a 20 amp breaker in the PD. At the low currents of this motor, I don't think the current sense on a Jaguar will give the accuracy you want through a CAN buss connection.
<R40> All active PD Board branch circuits shall be wired with appropriately sized wire:
Application Minimum wire size
40A circuit 12 AWG (2.052mm)
30A circuit 14 AWG (1.628mm)
20A circuit 18 AWG (1.024mm)
