Re: Using Both Vicotrs and Jaguars in Mecanum Drive
It is possible, although I wouldn't recommend it, especially when both jaguars and victors are used together to drive the same wheel-set. With mecanums, it's a bit easier to get by, at the cost of some control level. The problem lies with the output of Victors and Jaguars - Jaguar output is more linear than Victors, and so for a commanded speed, the two might be giving voltages that are different from what you really want. If it's all jaguars or all victors, everything scales together, and there is no problem.
