Re: Need Mercanum Help

The TeleOp programming should be straightforward as described above. To your question about the different motor controllers.

There is not a ton of difference between the PWM signals used for different motor controllers. However, I would recommend re-calibrating all the motor controllers (really with any motor but) especially with option 1 below. Also, there may be a difference with linearity and I'm not sure how much software helps.

1. In the Begin VI use the Open 4 motors VI. On the drop-down menu below the VI select either Talons or Jaguars. Re-calibrate ALL motor controllers with THE SAME motor controller selected.

2. Use the same Open 4 motors VI but select Existing Motors from the drop-down. You can then wire in individual motor references, selecting the appropriate motor controllers for each motor.
