Re: Need help with motor controls for window motors

Any motor can be controlled with a Victor or Jaguar. Certain motors may also be controlled with a Spike relay.
Quote:
[R50] All electrical loads (motors, actuators, compressors, electric solenoids) must be supplied by an approved power regulating device (speed controller, relay module, or Digital Sidecar PWM port) that is controlled by the cRIO on the Robot.
<snip>
d. Each other electrical load (motor or actuator) must be supplied by one and only one approved speed controller, or one and only one relay module.
(emphasis mine)

Caution: IF you want to use a Jaguar with a Window motor, remove the Locking Pins. Search CD for more details.
Quote:
[R49] Motors, servos, and electric solenoids used on the Robot shall not be modified in any way, except as follows:

C. The locking pins on the window motors (PN 262100-3030 and 262100-3040) may be removed.
