To elaborate:
When testing the robot, they apparently had one motor go forwards immediately, without warning, the second the robot was turned on, it apparently started going. I've brought it back to my area and started testing on a simple electrical board we have set up. With or without a PWM wire connected to it, the Jaguar provides the same amount volts that the battery the system connects to provides. Additionally, I'm always getting connectivity across the V+ and M+ terminals.

I'd like to be able to fix this if I can, and I'm wondering if there IS a way to fix it so that it returns to it's previous functionality.


Thanks!
We have fried a few Jaqs and and the "always on" effect is the result.
