Go to Post What if, each alliance has a pile of AndyMark equipment in front of them. They then have 2:00 minutes to assemble said equipment, and build a working robot that will race to the other side and grab the other alliance's flag. - Pjohn1959 [more]

Re: Unexplained intermittent CAN / 2CAN Jaguar problems at GSR

This is a good point, but it doesn't seem to add up.
Most of the inputs have a resistor (1k or greater) inline with their power supplies. There are two exceptions to this: the encoder and the brake/coast jumper.
Furthermore, limit switches are active when they are left OPEN. Their default state is closed (when the jumper is installed). This means a limit switch must be "normally closed", and break the connection when pressed. When a limit is pressed, it is drawing LESS power than when it is.

It was a good suggestion, though. I'm curios how close the Jaguar is to drawing more than their power supplies can handle.
