Re: Jaguars are blinking yellow

I am having a similar issue, but I am using Labview - there's a yellow light on Jaguar and putting a meter on the signal pin there seems to be no pwm signal. To test the motors and the Jaguar I ran one of the FRC examples provided in the help menu. It looks like everything is connected properly; I have also fixed my DB37 cable. I have not connected the Robot Signal light and not sure how that plays a role.

To eliminate the Jaguar as an issue, we connected up a simple servo to the side-car and ran the simple Labview Servo example - we got the same results. It seems we are getting no PWM signal from the digital side car.

Ah thanks for that, this solved it.

Re: Jaguars are blinking yellow

@dyanoshak, sorry, I wasn't clear with my response. I left out powering on the Jaguar with the button pressed. The correct instructions on how to reset the Jaguar to factory default settings are:
Quote:
  1. Power off the Jaguar.
  2. Press and hold the user button.
  3. Continue to hold down the user button and power up the Jaguar. The status LED will flash red and green.
  4. After about 4 seconds, the status LED will flash orange. Release the user button.
