Defective Black Jaguars?
While working on updating the firmware of the jaguars and setting ID's, we eventually discovered a very odd error. All the jags were successfully updated to version 92. We got a black jaguar last year, and in the summer, we got CAN working on it. This season, we have 2 KOP Black Jags and 2 other Black Jags, bought between the first one, and kickoff. All 4 of the newer ones cannot communicate with other Black jaguars (using serial bridge), and some of them (not sure) can't communicate with any other jaguars at all. the old one can communicate with all grey jaguars, but none of the new black jaguars. So after 2 ish hours, we swapped all the black jags on our robot with grey jags, except the old jag and it worked.
Is it the jaguars are bad, or can we only have 1 black jaguar on a network, or is there a special way to wire it. we know the cables and ends are good, simply changing the positions as show below enables it to work
all grey and first black can communicate
laptop>good black>grey>black>grey>black>black>grey>black>terminator
reversing laptop and terminator ends, only directly connected black can
terminator-good black-grey-black-grey-black-black-grey-black-laptop
