Re: Problem using encoders on Jaguar

Quote:
Thanks for the tip. We updated the Jaguar, and it now works.
Is this running on the cRio, or through BDC-COMM?
If it is on the cRIO, then which language are you using C++, Java, or Labview?

The reason that I am asking is because, in a few days, I will be wiring up the robot.
On the 1 jag that I used with the potentiometer, the position couldn't be read by the jag, but the position set-point could be sent.

If the encoder can be read in by the cRIO,
then I will use the speed control of the jaguar,
otherwise I will wire the encoders to the digital sidecar as I need them for autonomous.
