Re: Limit Switch return value

Well put your limit switches wherever you need to put them to stop your turret. Then lets say when you drive the speed controller forward to far it presses switch one, and if you drive it in reverse then it hits switch 2. Take out the jumper and put a 2 pin wire from where the jumper was to the switch. Wire the 2 pin slot labeled F to switch 1 and the one labeled R to switch 2. Make sure the switches are wired for normally closed, and test it at slower speeds to ensure that it works 100%

There are other features of the Jaguars that we are not allowed to use this year (if you look at the diagram you are not allowed to use the encoder, analog, or net ports this year). I am pretty sure you can use the limit switches, but definitely double check in the rules.
