Go to Post I walked out to the area where the robot was getting ready to move, and there's no room near the robot. I look again, and realize it's all students. - rachakate [more]

Re: Need Help With 393 Motor Issue

Did you plug a 393 into the port that has the servo working? Have you looked at the voltage coming out of the vex speed controllers with a multimeter? Have you looked at the voltage coming out of the sidecar?

If needed you can run the 393 motors off of a Victor/Jaguar/Talon. We ran two off of a talon all year without problems. We did't give them full power in programing; we ran them up to around 10v.

We tried a 393 on the servo port, same issue. Checked voltages at the sidecar and the vex controller. All were as expected. Seems to be an electrical current issue.

We were just about to try a jag with one to see if it works.
