Re: Drive Motors turning off then losing signal

Grab a spare Jag from somewhere, power it, and plug in a PWM. If it functions properly, you've got 2 bad jags. We had the same problem not long ago, and thought we were going crazy because we replaced a bad jag with another bad jag.

3rd times the charm.

You can easily check if the motors are fighting each other by disconnecting one of the PWMs and running the other.
