Re: Jaguars and Motors
Hi-
I wouldn't connect both the jaguar and the servo at the same time, primarily because the jumper needed changes the voltage to the servo.
Check your PWM's are in the right way. Test everything out with servos (if you have enough) and the jumpers for the servos on the sidecar. Then, if that doesn't work, go into Labview and make sure you set everything right. The program won't be the issue, but the parameters you set could very well cause issues. First, make sure you set your team number as your CRIO IP. Then make sure the PWM ports you picked for the Motors are indeed the ones you are connected to. Ive done that before (on last year's robot, my team for some mysterious reason had the motors connected to 3 & 4). You could also have the sample program set to victors instead of Jaguars, but I doubt this would cause 0 movement.
That's about all I can think of for easy fixes. I've always been a huge fan of VIctors- they have less to go wrong and take up less space. If the jaguars are being problematic, I'd try to scrounge for a couple simply for testing purposes. (They are wired pretty much the same- except instead of color-coded screws they have molded lettering.)
