Re: Victors verses Jaguars?

at CMP another team appeared to be having the same problem ( motor pulsing ) we had already solved the problem with the timeout, and that had helped tremendously, however we were still getting intermittent dropouts in the Can buss. when we talked to the other team (i dont remember name or number, maybe 399?) they said that they had been having the same problem and that attaching a filter capacitor on the leads of their motors had helped tremendously. another thing that lead me to this conclusion, is that we never had any problems with the can while we were testing our lift or manipulator, which were all rs550s or fisher prices. when we tested the drive however, the can network continued to drop out intermittently. the FP on the lift was drawing at least as much current (approx 30 amps continuous) so i was left to think that electrical noise was the culprit. we have not done any tests, but before next season we might try the filter capacitor trick and see if it solves the problem.
