Looking for more information on CAN for Jaguar

[kgzak]

I am looking for more information on CAN for the Jaguar. I want to be able to control a Jaguar over CAN with a different controller than the cRIO or roboRIO. I am looking for more information on what the CAN message content should be to control the Jaguar. If anyone has any info on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

You need to flash the Jag with the non-FRC firmware, then use the documentation here:

Is there no documentation on what the FRC firmware does? I would really like to keep the FRC firmware and just use a different controller to send the commands. I also took a look at the stuff you linked and do not see what I commands I should send over the CAN. I may be overlooking something as it is 2:30am, but if you could point me in the right direction that'd be great.

My plan is to use a microcontroller with built in CAN to communicate with the jaguar to get some more experience with CAN. I would think that there should be some documentation on what messages need to be sent to the jaguar for the FRC firmware but I could be wrong.

Sorry, I could have sworn that this document used to be linked on that page and didn't double check.

I can't seem to find the RDK-BDC-BDC24-UM package you need to build the non-FIRST firmware. Maybe somebody will have a copy laying around they can get to you. I'm not sure if the VexPro factory default firmware implements the tokenization or not: http://www.vexrobotics.com/vexpro/motor-controllers/217-3367.html

No, there is intentionally no documentation on how the FRC firmware communicates. It uses a proprietary tokenization scheme that is not published. See page 15 of the Getting Started guide for slightly more detail.

Okay. Thank you very much.
