Re: CAN, PID, Mecanums
Well, we know that the wiring of your encoders is not the issue right now. If that were the case, the Jaguars would go full-speed FWD when you pushed forward, and full-speed REV when you went reverse.

My first guess would be that you haven't set the "max RPM" in the OpenExistingMotors VI, and that you haven't set the number of lines on the encoder.
If you're on tough boxes with CIMs, the max RPM should be about 4500 / 12.6, which is around 350 RPM. The default is 1.
