I got it running from a PC using the bdcomm (I think its called) app. However, the c++ code supplied only supports voltage mode. I've been trying to modify it to add other modes, but no success yet.

What does current mode do?
I know that the jaguar can adjust the amount of current drawn through pulse-withing the motor power, but is it running at full speed during that time?
I have only tried experimenting with the voltage control mode at this time, but the low speed control (over CAN) seems to be much better then before.
