Re: Grey Jaguar No Power Out

I tested both an analog and a digital multimeter set to DC and got identical responses in the range of 0-5.5v for zero to full throttle on a jag output.

P.S.
I'm a little slow, but I awoke in the middle of the night to the realization that my measurement mistake was because the battery had been drawn low by the motor load probably coupled with a low battery.
The battery I used was drawn down to 7.5v, so apparently ~2v might get dropped by measuring with these type of multimeters.
I'll check again with a fully charged battery and without a motor load when the real morning comes.
