Re: Denso Window Motors, Warning - Don't use with Jaguars !
When this happens we are running competition code and can not set the PWM to 0. We can switch directions and this has no effect. In the beginning of the season, I pulled the pwm cable and reinserted. This should have caused a time out and set to zero. Put the cable back in and nothing. Power cycle solves problem. Have not tried pulling breaker. We can go many matches and not have it happen. Happened to a replaced window motor. Seems to happen with any window motor. This is very irritating because now now that we have the swerve dialed in the robots great except for this last issue. We are using tan jags. Because there is PID involved switching to victors is not the best solution but it's the only thing we know to try. Any other ideas?
