Re: Robot traction system shutting down

All of our Talons are on the latest firmware as well as the PDP (the 1.4 version). Regarding the PWM cables, the Talons are all wired via CAN. The only PWM cable we have currently, is a light sensor which we're testing with and it has nothing to do with the traction of the robot (they're there so we know when we grabbed a tote successfully).

As for the logs, I never really used them so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I'll definitely see what I can get from there, even though I don't have the robot available right now.

I don't think it's a power issue, since we have nothing else other than the traction and one more motor which is pretty much always idle. Even with a fully charged battery we still have the same problem. I will pay more attention to see if it happens more frequently when the battery is low or something similar.

Thanks for the help anyways.
