Re: Spike Relay code failing

Well we managed to get past the joystick issues during driving through some limiting code. We limited the joystick y values to .6 only when driving the sides in opposite directions to keep the robot from locking up. I am not sure why but suppling any throttle value higher than around .6 to the jaguars when going opposite directions causes it to shut down. Im thinking that this may be a voltage issue, because if we use a battery that is only about 25% charged we can limit it at .75 without any problems. But the relays are still not working.

On a side note, to wire the relays do we need to modify a PWM cable, because only the B(closest to fuse) is labeled. The ground could be the middle pin which would require a modification of the cable.
