how many people have had failing jaguars
I need to know so to make a decision on whether or not to use them. I've read atleast two people had them burnout.

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
My team killed ours by wiring them improperly. So, try to avoid doing that if you use them.

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
Im not sure what we did to ours, but they weren't working properly. We couldn't go backward, and all the wiring was working perfectly before.

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
Haven't had a problem with them yet! They're much better than the Victors were for the past few years; the robot is much more controllable.

One thing to remember is that the Jaguar size is twice as large than a victor footprint. If price is important , Jags are half the price of victors. Last edited by lynca : 15-01-2009 at 23:29. |

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
They have been working great here so far
The limit switch jumper isn't missing from the backward limit pin is it? |

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
Our Jaguars are working fine still, no issues. Seem more controlled at low speeds than Victors were.

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
We currently have 10 jaguars and have been running most of them for the last 2 months.
We had 1 jaguar that shipped without the PWM connector, and one that was missing a limit switch jumper. We RMAd the first one (painless) and added the jumper to the second. Other then those two manufacturing defects, we have had no failures. |

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
Our team was running the benchtop setup, but one motor wasn't working right. It was reversed, as indicated by the LED on the Jaguar. When we swapped out that Jaguar, it worked fine. Then, later in testing (still with the benchtop setup), both motors stopped responding and we smelled burning. Both Jaguars were destroyed at about the same time, after running fine for a little while. For now, we are using Victors.

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
Our team wired the jaguar backwards, and naturally a puff of smoke was emmitted. My question was, will replacing the 3300 microfarad capacitor fix it, or did many circuits in the jaguar get burned out

Re: how many people have had failing jaguars
Today we accidentally shorted a motor connected to a jaguar. There was a burning smell and now the jaguar only works in one direction. Is is done or is there a way to fix it?
