Re: On-Robot Controls

You will find it impossible to cause the cRIO to activate any motors when the robot is not enabled. That's a safety feature that cannot be bypassed by any code you can write.

My suggestion is that you provide a way to disconnect the motor from its speed controller and then connect it to a separate battery through a manual switch.
