Re: Unexplained intermittent CAN / 2CAN Jaguar problems at GSR
Off hand I don't know for certain how the 2CAN is connected (I'm more of a software guy), but I believe that it powered via the termination blocks. Should it be moved?

Just as an aside, how are people connecting the 2CAN? We have the CRIO connected to the DLINK via the CRIO's port 1 and the 2CAN via the CRIO's port 2. The second connector on the 2CAN is unused. We had though of adding a camera to the robot and I was planning on plugging the camera into the unused port of the 2CAN.

However, when I first wired it up, I had the 2CAN connected to port 1 of the CRIO and the DLINK was connected to the second port of the 2CAN, but it seemed to me that in this configuration, the 2CAN was going to have a lot more work to do that was unnecessary, as it would have to bridge all the traffic to and from the CRIO and driver station.
