Re: Periodic Task Input

Thanks for the reply. We tried calibrating the motors, but that was unsuccessful. It almost looks like it started doing it even more. They all blink in unison when they fire. Whats really weird though is that the random movement happens on the 4 movement controllers, and not on the other 2 we have for other functions.

This is the guide we followed for calibrating the Jaguars, so if there was an error in the process, then let me know.

Jaguar Motor Controller Getting Started Guide
To calibrate the servo-style PWM input for a specific range, connect a PWM source, then:
1. Hold down the USER switch with a straightened paper clip for 5 seconds.
2. The LED flashes Red and Green to indicate Calibration mode.
3. Instruct the controller to send a full-forward signal for one or more seconds.
4. Instruct the controller to send a full-reverse signal for one or more seconds.
5. The LED flashes Green and Yellow quickly to indicate a successful calibration.
The Jaguar samples these signals and centers the speed range and neutral position between these limits. A
calibration failure signals if an out-of-range signal is detected.
This condition is indicated by flashing the LED Red and Yellow.
