Re: Denso window motor lockup when under load

From the Team 1640 wiki, the following quote:
"These locking pins lock the drive coupling in one direction in response to excessive torque. "

Does this really describe what the locking pins do, or are they really related to the anti-backdrive function? If the former, I will have a student take the locking pins out tonight. If the latter, than we may not want to remove them.

Thanks for the other comments. We will indeed be using limit switches into the Jags to remove power before hitting the hard stops. The problems we see are based on the bench test setup.
