Re: PID Control for Jaguars with PWM?
Thanks. Is there any disadvantage to using the one on the cRIO? I know that CAN has its advantages, but our team is much more familiar with the PWM interface, and we already have all the resources required for it (namely, a whole boatload of cables).

Would the code for using the PID controller differ at all between the cRIO controller and the CAN Jag controller? Which one is handled by the WPILib/WPILibJ PIDController library?
