We got the cables from e-stop electronics. Unfortunately, I am still seeing some flakiness in the CAN network. I have successfully had all four nodes on the network at once but it is still not reliable. I am looking for some specific diagnostics steps I can perform. I suspect it could be noisy/poor power supply, grounding issues, cable issues (even though i bought them). Armed with a oscilloscope and multimeter are their specific measurements i can make to look for termination/noise issues? Thanks!
