Re: Unexplained intermittent CAN / 2CAN Jaguar problems at GSR

Just call me curious...

Everyone that has the Jaguar problem on the CAN bus, please consider telling us:

Have you put capacitors on the backs of your motors to dampen the noise?

Have you considered putting capacitors across the encoder power wires?

It's possible that noise from your electrical sources and the brush motors attached to the motor side of the Jaguars is causing issues for the CAN bus.

We've noticed this issue as well, but we have 2 solutions. We detect the failure and force a reset. We are trying to get rid of all the noise that could cause things like this to happen.
