Full reverse on jags problematical

What do you mean by this? Are you implying that incurring the fault condition on just one Jaguar trips its breaker, but incurring it all four does nothing? I'm not really sure what you mean. If this was in response to this, though:



then I believe you are misunderstanding what a "current fault condition" is. The 40A breaker will not automatically reset when current exceeds 40A. Moreover, there is no physical circuit breaker in the Jaguar; rather, when the Jaguar's internal sensor detects that the current being drawn is exceeding 40A, the Jaguar's firmware will respond by incurring a current fault condition by cutting control for 3 seconds and flashing the status LED red and yellow.

1)Have not tried that, will try at the next meeting on Monday and i will post the results.

2)If i were to do give a negative signal to the jags one by one, then i can hear/see the red light indicating the 40 amp breakers tripped, but if i were to send all 4 full reverse, then hear nor see the red light so the power board isnt tripping
