FRC Speed Controllers
Hi- can I get all the info possible on the FRC controllers, how they work, and the related coding for them?
My team's controllers are Jaguars, but the goal of the thread is to create a general repository of information. Last edited by Bbace21 : 20-11-2013 at 23:59. Reason: adding more information |

I figured it could be a good idea to have all relevant information in one thread for ease of use for all in the future. |

Re: FRC Speed Controllers
To start, this page has links to the manuals for each of the motor controllers: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...Control-System.
The ScreenSteps Live documentation site has details on code for C++/Java: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...ns-and-jaguars. |

Re: FRC Speed Controllers
There are also 3 (4?) kinds of speed controllers for use in FRC.

I am not an expert on how the controller is interfaced. However, they either use PWM or they use CAN. I believe that the Victors, Spikes and Talons use PWM. The Jaguars use CAN.

Re: FRC Speed Controllers
Victors, Talons, and Jaguars can all use PWM. Jaguars can also use CAN. However spikes are run off of relay slots on the digital sidecar, not PWM slots(they do use PWM cables though).
