Black Jaguar to Gray Jaguar Connectivity
Hi all,

We are new to the CAN Bus system in electronics, and we are attempting to set IDs to a sequence of daisy-chained Jaguars mounted on our old robot. We are using BDC-COMM software to connect to the jaguars.

When we set the Board ID of the Black Jaguar and attempt to connect to the Gray Jaguars that are in the rest of the line, the lights start to flash quickly. Once we disconnect the CAN cables, the faster blinking stops, and it returns to its original state. We assumed that the BDC-COMM software was able to detect the Jaguars but was unable to actually connect to them. And also, what is a bricked jaguar?
