Re: 2012: Tuning the Jaguar's Speed Control PID Loop

Re: NotInControl

I couldn't find anyone that made this work in competition last year...and this is probably the reason why:

So as a participant in those prior conversations I'll tell you what I found:

The encoders do not split nicely like that. I encourage you to look at the produced output signal when you are doing so using an oscilloscope.

There is a chance you can get them to work regardless of the issues it creates but I suspect the system noise will occasionally get the better of you. I will not speculate on how often, but from what I've seen using wiring well within the standards of inspection for U.S. FIRST (and load tested beyond the standards)...often enough you might consider it an issue...especially in systems with many loaded CIMs.
