How many Jaguars...
Is there a certain number of jaguars allowed on the robot, or is it just sticking with budget and weight requirements?

Re: How many Jaguars...
The maximum is 20 simply due to the max number of PWM outputs available.

Re: How many Jaguars...
I almost answered the same thing, but then I remembered about CAN control.

Re: How many Jaguars...
You aren't limited, but you may wish to reconsider your design if you have 10+ speed controllers.

Re: How many Jaguars...
The highest CAN ID that WPILib can address is 63. However there are only 20 connectors on the PD board so that would limit you first.

Re: How many Jaguars...
Product specs available for download.
http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/mdl_bdc.html That is for GREY jags. It you own the black version, they have a link to the spec page for them as well. |

If you're going to have quite a few speed controllers, I'd find out what issues it might cause. We've run up to 6 with no issues. |

Re: How many Jaguars...
I believe there are only 8 40-amp capable connectors on the PD board, so that's another limiting factor. Not sure what size breaker the larger BaneBots motors require, but I know the CIMs for sure require a 40A circuit breaker. Also, the main breaker/power switch is rated at 120A, so think about that as well.

Is no one going to mention the cost limits?

Re: How many Jaguars...
Budget and weight were mentioned in the original post.
