Jerking Servos
We have constructed a gimbal, but have encountered a strange problem. Whenever we run our final conveyor belt that feeds the shooter, both of the servos, which are on top of the robot, move around sporadically. The problem persists even when we run the belt directly through the CAN bus via TI's BDC com 101. We have isolated the wires, swapped cables, swapped the sidecar, and checked for any current through the robot frame, all to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
