Re: Consistent CANTimeoutException via CAN-serial interface
OK, looks like it was a signal/noise issue - we are using 6-conductor flat cable for our serial link. Your comment about the 115200bps connection got us thinking about noise, so we shortened our serial cable from six feet down to 2 feet, and now we have our first successful serial connection from the cRIO to the Jag.

Maybe we'll switch our cabling to twisted pair in the future.

Thanks!
