Re: Limit Switch return value



There are two jumpers there when you first get it, those are the limit switches. When the connection between the two pins is broken the motor stops turning in that direction. Under each of those sets of 2 pins a letter either F or R for forward and reverse. Just hook a two pin cable into one of those and hook that to a limit switch in the normally closed position and instant limit switch, no programming required

Also if you have jaguars that you don't want to use this feature for (I.E. drive motors) make sure you tape the jumpers in so they cant fall out during competition.

For next year keep an eye out for allowed features with the other connectors
