Re: Victor Brakes

When I tried hooking the SIGNAL pin of a Digital Output directly to the centre pin of the Victor Brake/Coast header (2006 Robot Controller) the red HARDWARE LED comes on (Master Reset), on the Robot Controller.

This can't be good

Shouldn't the Relay Outputs on the Robot Controller be used instead???

I have been unable to find a schematic for the Victor controller showing the Brake/Coast jumper.
