Re: Current Control

I got it working in C++ when we were testing CAN out. What I found is you need to setup PID for it to work and your target current must be MUCH higher than what you actually want (I had to say 40 to get out a reasonable speed when under voltage control). Experiment in BDC-COMM and then transfer over constants that work to your robot code
