Arduino FRC Control

Using an Arduino and a joystick shield to perform basic motion commands for an FRC robot interface including a Jaguar and Spike Relay.

The jaguar has a LED opto-isolator input driven directly from the arduino via a 1K ohm resistor using the white PWM cable wire as the input and the black as GND. The red wire (+) is a no connect. 1000 microseconds = full rev, 1500 = null, 2000 = full fwd. This is known as servo control.

The spike has a 3 state input using two wires. 0 0 is OFF, 1 0 is FWD, 0 1 is REV.
