Jaguar Amperage Flow

[Verrazano]

We are using the black new jaguars. we are not using CAN, measuring the voltage drops across the power lead to the jaguar sounds like it requires extra equipment which is what we are trying to avoid.

As for the drive train I agree that it was likely to have been geared incorrectly as we just hooked the motors from a chain directly to the wheels. can you think of any other way that doesn't require my electrical counter parts to hook anything new up.

It does not require extra equipment. The cRIO has analog inputs.

No gearbox?

Last year we decided that it would add to much weight. This year we are using stripped down and modified super-shifters. I just talked to the electrical team and mechanical team on this matter. The mechanical team agreed with the gearing statement as that being the main reason for our burn outs. They also said that the new gearing will mostly likely eliminate the problem. The supers-shifters also have a rpm instrument on them that we might utilize. I try out the analog reading option with CRio.

Thanks for the help it's greatly appreciated.
