Re: Using CAN BUS in Labview

Phil,

Feel free to try using the "position disable" command, and see if it makes a difference. I was under the impression all the "disable" commands function identically. The main purpose of the "enable" and "disable" is to prevent the Jaguar from making wild movements while you are configuring.

In my experience, the BDC-COMM and the LabVIEW implementation treat the position the same; in rotations. I've tested Position Mode with encoders in both LabVIEW and the BDC-COMM, but I've only tested with potentiometers in BDC-COMM.

EDIT:
If you want to control using voltage, you can set your "pot turns" configuration to 3. The Jaguar uses a 3v regulator for the potentiometer.
