You should find them in the Robotics Library palette. Robot Drive and Actuators/Motor Control have integrated CAN support now.

Thanks Joe! We found these today! We were quite happy to find that the Open Motor VI had an choice for CAN Jaguar! Woohoo. We used that VI into a while loop, into a SetOutput into a GetOutput out of the while loop and into a Close Motor. Downloaded to the cRio and .... nothin. Nada.

There are no errors indications. The error connections do not indicate any errors. The single Jaguar is still blinking yellow. :-(

I'm looking for suggestions on diagnosing the problem. We'll spend some more time on this tomorrow.

An example posted vi would be great to ensure that we are doing everything correctly. Without examples we are in the blind.

Thanks for your help!
