Re: Jaguar Brake/coast

I have made these brake coast cables cables before and if I remember correctly the rated max fanout for digital outs on the digital sidecar is 3. So if you have 4 speed controllers on the drive I recommend you daisy chain (or Y-cable) the left controllers to one digital output, then do the right controllers on a separate output. I have daisy chained one digital out to 4 speed controllers on a practice robot. It worked on all 4 controllers, but I wouldn't do this on your competition bot (use atleast 2 digital outs).
