Re: CANTimeoutException disabling motors
We had a few CANTimeoutExceptions caused by a termination problem:

Our RJ-12 with the 100 ohm resistor crimped directly into it had its leads very close together. We suspect they were occasionally touching.

We crimped another with the leads actually a bit LONGER, so that each lead would go perfectly AROUND the plastic block that normally holds the insulation in the crimp connector.

I would expect that the 2CAN has termination built-in to it, so likely you are fine there. I've never used one personally, but the RS-232 CAN adapters that you make sometimes don't have the DB-9 pins pushed all the way into the housing, and this has caused CANTimeoutExceptions in the past for us as well.
