Re: Unexplained intermittent CAN / 2CAN Jaguar problems at GSR
We ran all of the DC Regional with CAN Jaguars in voltage control mode.
We had no encoders, pots, or limit switches in use on the JAGs.
We programmed in Labview, with Update 29.
We used encoders and limit switches attached to the digital side car.
We ran all of DC Regional, 9 Qualifiers(We missed one due to mechanical repairs), 2 Quarter Finals, and 2 Semi Finals matches. We had ZERO CAN issues.
I think it's time to investigate all of the following to attempt to find a commonality for failure.
1) Correct/Proper wiring both CAN and Power.
2) Ground isolation of components.
3) CAN Interface used, Serial or 2CAN
4) Type of JAGS used, Black, Grey, Both
5) The programming language used
6) The control mode(s) used.
7) encoders, pots, limit switches are being used.
So for us, I can say with 99.99999% certainty that for our machine...
1) CAN Wiring is correct with proper termination 100ohm.
2) All components are ground isolated from the frame and electrical wiring has no shorts or ground faults.
3) We used 2CAN on PORT 2 of the CRIO.
4) We used all BLACK JAGS.
5) We Programmed with Labview.
6) Used Voltage Mode only.
7) No Encoders, POTS, Limit Switches attached to the JAGS.
