Re: CANbus Jaguar control

Thanks for the code sample - great idea to do Master-Slave via Voltage.
I am confused about Voltage vs. kPercentVbus. The latter is I assume the PWM duty cycle, the former surely cannot be analogue voltage driving the motor, as that would generate immense heat in the Jag. Again very inadequate documentation on this.

Q: why did you use 360 and not the full 1440 counts per revolution (the QuadEncoder max of the KOP encoder)?

I will try your approach and report back. It sure would be great to use the LM3S2616 puppy in the Jag!

Thnaks,
Dean
