Re: Jaguar deadband?

What could you possibly mean you "can't have any deadband"? ANY motor controller you buy will have SOME deadband. It needs X amount of juice before it will even try to make the motor go.

The Jaguars have a substantially smaller deadband than the victors, they're substantially more linear, and just all around a better motor controller.

You've been programming around these deadbands for years. I highly doubt you have any mechanism on your robot that can't have a deadband. We've built all manner of high-accuracy mechanisms, and the deadbands have never been an issue.
