Re: Twitchy Motors

You have a really long wire run between the battery and the PDB. This will cause a significant voltage drop under load. You should keep your wire runs as short as possible. This may or may not be causing the twitchy motor issue, but it could cause problems for you in the future.

Can you post a driver station log of the battery voltage for when the twitching occurs?
