Faulty Jaguars (CAN)
We have had a run of bad Black Jaguars.

Several were bad immediately out of the box (no light; no response to BDC-COMM). Others went bad in the same fashion as soon as they were placed in a CAN network on the bot. At least two more appeared responsive (lights on and individually responsive to to BDC-COMM) but would not respond on the network. (Cable and terminators have been checked and swapped.)
None of the bad Jaguars ever turned a motor. All were purchased from Digikey.

The ones that have worked have worked without incident.

Has anyone else been experiencing similar problems?
