Re: jaguars - send voltage

Mo,
The Jag doesn't send a constant voltage, it can be commanded to operate in "Voltage Mode" through the CAN bus. In this mode the Jag produces an "average voltage" that simulates a constant voltage so that the motor behaves as if it always is receiving the commanded voltage. In this mode you can also program a "ramp" which will change the average voltage over a specified length of time. I know there are several teams that have used this mode that can comment on it's usefulness.
