Re: TI and future Jaguars

One of the motor controllers that I have used in the past had a language on it that you interfaced to it with. This allowed you to do the basic things like set voltage and stuff, or to do the crazy stuff like custom control loops. The language was basic-like, and pretty simple. This makes it so teams could do whatever they want at the lowest level (1khz custom control loop ftw!), but the kill signal would always be respected.
