Labview CAN Help

[swicki]

I was curious as to if anyone here would be willing to answer some of the questions that our new programming team is having while attempting to utilize CAN through Labview. We are also open to Skype if you are willing.

Thanks in advance,

There really isn't such a thing as "CAN Programming" unless you're trying to write a driver for some CAN device you specifically want (by handwriting your own CAN frames).

Using the PCM and PDP is explained in the Labview porting guide.

Using Talon SRXs on CAN bus is explained in the Talon SRX Software Reference Manual (google it).

Also it helps to go over the roboRIO Web-based config so you can set device IDs for your CAN devices.

I think the best first step would be to report what your seeing and what's not meeting your expectations.

Thank you for the resources, they helped quite a bit. We were able to have a mentor help out and we are operational now. :)
