Re: Limit Switches on CAN freaks out

Interesting. We have the same problem -- and we're using limit switches on one of our Jaguars. However, we would only lose control of our motors for maybe a half second or second or so before it would come back. Out of curiosity, why do you blame the limit switches -- does it not have this problem without them?

Someone had mentioned on a different thread that this error is due to improper termination. But ours seems to be properly terminated.
