We are trying to set up all 6 of our jaguars to run off of CAN. We do not appear to be getting any output from the serial port.

All the wiring is correct, and we have the resistors attached.

We had it working before, then it randomly stopped working.

Any suggestions?

Have you upgraded the Jaguar's firmware? The CANJaguar library is built into the WPI library this year and the new Jaguar firmware update is required.

Yes we updated it. The jaguars run fine when connected to to the TI software.

We followed the instructions given to us by FIRST and it was working for a while. It only stopped working this past weekend.

Nevermind! We figured it out.

That stinks, did it burn out? We had a fuse in the cRio burn out at competition right before finals last year, and we had to decline when we got picked. Us software people were going crazy trying to figure out why nothing worked

One of our members actually wired the cRIO incorrectly. We didn't think to check for this, though, because everything else was working.
