New Ctrl Sys Early Ship - Benchtop Test

[Ziaholic]

Team 2449 is also on the list of A-OK outta' the box testing.

Our tank and arcade tele-op setups worked just fine, and we didn't need to tie down any floating inputs. Both joysticks performed as advertised. And the Jaguar controllers performed great. (my first time w/ Jag's, looking forward to seeing what they can do)

Our Autonomous mode operated both motors for 2 seconds.

We haven't progressed to the wireless and/or firmware updates yet, but will tackle that (and more) this weekend.

Our only "hiccup" to report at the moment is a 5v status LED on our PD that doesn't want to illuminate. But I've read that we are not alone and the 5v bus is working, it's just the LED that isn't. (we haven't proven that yet, but I'm optimistic)

My only complaint was that I had to steal the 120amp main breaker from our '08 bot to get our test up and running. I think they should've tossed one of those into our "early" kit of parts.

NOTE: When instructed to add the 2nd jumper for Auton mode(on Digi-In2), we did NOT remove the 1st jumper (on Digi-In1). I'm not sure if it's relevent, but some of the failed auton folks might try that.
