Re: Talons, Jaguars and Victors - where do you stand?
2470 used a combination of victors and jags this year. Needless to say we will never be using Jaguars again, at the competition we ended up replacing all of our jags with victors as the jags kept failing. I told the kids we were going to try out Talons next year.
Now that it is the off-season for us I've started to do some testing as to why our jags failed. So far I've found that anytime the robot is enabled and one of our problem jaguars has an active PWM connection the LED indicator light will blink red as if it was getting a reverse signal. I've tried just about everything to stop this from happening - replacing the limit switch jumpers, reseting the jag etc. but it continues to not work. My diagnosis at the moment is a failed thermistor.
