Spikes and CIM?
We were trying to use a spike to control a CIM on an old robot we're repairing. We blew a couple of fuses and talked to some mentors until finally someone said to try a Vic. The Vic worked, but does anyone know if we're able to use a Spike to control a CIM? The PD board was putting out 30 amps, and the Spike had a 20 amp fuse, is that the problem, or are they physically incompatible? Thanks!
