Re: Using an encoder with a two CIM gearbox
The correct way to do this on board the Jaguar is to have the Jaguar firmware modified to include a "follow me" mode so you can implement a master and a slave Jaguar. Since that didn't happen for this year, the correct answer is to connect the encoder to the cRIO and to run the PID algorithm on the cRIO.
