Re: Huge Problem

We had a similar problem with the Jaguars - We had some noobs help wire the test board, and on two of the Jags they connected the power to the output instead of the input. It took us a minute to realize why the breakers were instantly tripping and resetting on that side, but once we did it was too late. The Jags get the PWM signal and respond to the joystick movement, but no power is getting fed through the circuit. We did all appropriate tests with a multimeter, and found interestingly that the circuit was closing when the Jags were supposed to be sending power (as indicated by the continuity tester), but no 12v current. We're hoping that means it's just an internal fuse, otherwise we're going to have to drop $150 on new ones (for a team on a small budget, significant)
