Re: Jaguar Output Question

The factory calibration on a Jaguar will not give full range on the output if you feed it a hobby servo standard PWM signal that goes from 1ms minimum (full reverse) to 2ms maximum (full forward). That's what you get if you use an IFI controller, or if you use the cRIO and forget to tell your code to control a Jaguar instead of a Victor (or a servo).

If you tell the cRIO to control a factory-fresh Jaguar, you will get full range on the output. If you calibrate the Jaguar to use the PWM signal it is receiving, you will get full range on the output.
