The latest release is indicated by the most recent release date and the version number. version 2.18 is higher than version 2.5.

2.18 .crf for the 2CAN

As for the plugin a new one will be released shortly but the SVN rev 66 should work fine.

The latest version is back wards compatible with version 1 2CAN hardware. The only difference between 2.5 and 2.18 is 2.18 supports the device id for a different version of Ethernet silicon inside the 2CAN. All new versions of 2CAN firmware will support both devices.

One thing to note if the 2CAN has a Green LED your problem is not on the CAN side(wiring, termination) the LED can only be green when at least one Jaguar is present on the BUS and responding to enumeration requests from the 2CAN and the the plugin has successfully loaded. If you had bad termination or faulty wiring you would see a red strobing LED and the Jags would not appear in the web dash. Since you are able to see all of your jags in the web dash and the 2CAN LED is green your problem is not in the CAN wiring or termination. This is a very useful tool that can be used to provide quick diagnostics when setting your robot up on the field. Green is good red is dead.

Follow Joe's advice regarding your code as it seems you already have.
