CAN Installation Details

We are having trouble with CAN controlling a motor with the cRio. When the same serial connector is connected to the computer directly and using BDC-COMM, the Jaguar and motor work fine. That seems to eliminate wiring.

We have assigned a different address to the Jaguar (10).

We have updated the Jaguar firmware to v.92.

We get error -52007 on the CANReceive.vi. (could be spelled wrong).

I'm concerned that we have not updated all the pieces properly.

The FirstForge website now says that the CAN LabView components and drivers are all Obsolete. All of the files are now supposed to be part of the regular distribution.

What does that mean and how are all of the pieces installed?

The cRio needs the CAN driver? Is that included with the 2011 update for the cRio?

CAN vi's for LabView are obviously required. Are those installed by default? We are using the vi's that are in the "User VIs" section. We found other VIs under WPI. Which should we be using?

We can we find details or project examples.

Thank you for the help,
...Duane
