Jaguar Issues...

[Jonathan Norris]

So during testing we are having major issues with Jags dropping out and not responding to inputs during the middle of our runs. We are using the CAN Bus for communication with speed control using the encoders on our four drive Jags. We have two others for a roller claw, and one more on the arm. We are seeing the Jaguars initially working then after a large load is applied (and a voltage drop is seen) to them they fault (we are seeing fault 4 - low voltage fault) they stop responding even though the jaguar shows it is still connected (solid yellow light).

This is even happening with Jags controlling low current motors (on our roller claw). We have seen it with 6 out of 7 jaguars on our robot.

We are getting pretty frustrated with them, anyone seen similar issues?? We are close to trying to find enough victors to replace the Jags.
