Re: Cypress Layout (over wires?)
Thank you -- I had no clue about that.
I'm still remembering facts I probably knew about last year. I was going to wire up a switch that will act as an active-stop mechanism, which will drive the motors so as to bring the robot to a much quicker stop that coasting them (as disabling does.) However, I'll have to try Jaguars -- it was brought up that they have an electomagnetic stop. Hopefully, this will be effective enough to bring it to a stop within three feet.
I'm sure I'll find a use for this if the Jaguars are effective at stopping it. Of course, I'll have to check if the electomagnetic braking works when the PWM output is disabled (we would like to avoid CAN until the offseason.)
I hope other teams will find this helpful, too.
