Re: pic: Gasp!

Our breadboard uses two VEX motors, one with the KOP VEX controller tied to a standard PWM output and one tied to a CANJaguar with VMax set to 7V and a 10T Potentiometer for position feedback using the PID (P=250, I=0, D=0) in the Jaguar. Both are working flawlessly. We have not put a scope on the Jaguar output, but we have blown any motors. Your photo is not as crazy as you might think, other than you show using a PWM cable to the Jaguar which may be risky if you command more than +/- 50% percentVolts. Size and weight of the VEX is very attractive for controlling a turret which has a high COG.
