Re: Run Jaguar's through PC
I wish I had much to add, but my guess would be to somehow reverse engineer the serial can structure in the FRC code.
either that, or PWM it. PWM control with boe bots was easy, (driving PWM wheel servos) as all you did was send pulse rates to a digital output (in hz IIRC), ranging from 6500 (full reverse) to 8500 (full forward), with 7500 being neutral (stop).
In fact, IIRC, the original IFI controllers used the same BASIC STAMP controller as boe bots...
for that matter, if you knew C (like I will after the next few months), you could obtain a second hand later generation IFI controller and drive them that way.
