Re: Using Digital Output to control Brake/Coast on Victor
In this post I describe how I make a brake/coast cable. I do recommend you take the white pin out of the black housing (shrink tube or electrical tape the exposed metal) and plug it into the center pin on the brake/coast header. The 3 pin black housing is too wide for the brake/coast header (it is built for jumpers) and it will not plug in all the way. I also chain 2 victors per digital output. I wouldn't recommend chaining more than 2 victors per output.
