Re: Question on Jaguar Coasting Specifics

Quote:
It appears to be (but I've never tried it). See pinout. Coast is when the signal is 2 to 5 volts. Brake is when the signal is -0.3 to 1.3 volts. See Table 7.
Based on the Digital I/O on the sidecar, and the schematic of what is behind the coast brake pins, would you connect the brake signal pin to the + or the ground on the sidecar? It appears that the signal pin on the Jaguar likes to be grounded (correct me if I'm wrong?). I would think that the + on the digital IO sidecar is the signal that turns on and off (does the ground on the digital side car also behave like this?) If you connected the + on the sidecar and the signal pin, would the net-voltage still be "pulled high or low"
