Re: BlackJaguar-99.bin issues
Not quite sure what you mean here. Joe and I do not write the TI firmware we are only trying to help support it.

Re: BlackJaguar-99.bin issues

Re: BlackJaguar-99.bin issues
If by Automatic Ramp you mean a voltage ramp, the firmware has always supported this for use with CAN. If you wish to leverage this feature over PWM I am not aware of a version of the firmware that...

Re: CANJaguar timeout on cRIO startup
CAN timeout errors are usually caused by poor CAN connectivity. Connecting the 2CAN to an Ethernet port on the radio vs. the cRIO does not cause CAN timeouts. Connect the 2CAN to the radio it should...

Re: BlackJaguar-99.bin issues
Check your cabling and termination resistors, if the cable loses connection at all during the bootloading process the Jaguar will remain in bootloader appearing "bricked". If you are not confidant...

Re: Powering the 2CAN 2.0
The 2CAN must be powered by one of the 12volt breakers, 20 amp is fine. The 2CAN will operate at up to 24 volts but connecting to the 24 volt supply is not legal.

Re: New to 2CAN and Jaguar
Correct, those function calls are only necessary if you want to use the closed loop modes or request encoder/potentiometer position.

Re: New to 2CAN and Jaguar
The 2CAN acts as a gateway to CAN the cRIO simply passes the CAN frame over UDP, the 2CAN has no other interaction with the CRIO.
