Re: CANTimeoutException disabling motors
You might try switching to the serial port to talk to your first black Jaguar.

We often switch back and forth between the serial port and 2CAN to help expose various issues.

There was a recent update to the 2CAN. Be sure it is installed.

When you make your CAN cables you should only connect the CanH and CanL signals. Don't connect the ground...it makes a ground loop.

The rest of the world uses 120 ohms for termination. I have never seen a reason that TI said to use 100 ohms, so we have switched to 120 ohms.
