Re: Wheel encoder to Jaguar Wiring

You can use the BDC-COMM application to quickly and easily make sure the encoders are hooked up correctly. Simply hook your computer up to the Jaguar, connect the program to it, and spin the wheel by hand - you should see the encoder counts change. We did that when we were trying to figure out our PID loop a while back.

Or you can get your code to periodically report the speed/distance of the wheels to show how it's working.
