Re: What is the difference between CAN and 2-Can?

The difference is bandwidth. With the serial configuation you are limited by the speed of the RS232. 2CAN lets you use ethernet with CAN bus and gets you something like 5 or 10 times the bandwidth. So if you can send send a command to the jaguar 10 times a second with the RS232 version, then you would be able to do it 100 times a second with 2CAN. Or if there were 10 messages that you like to send to the jaguar every second, 2CAN would let you send those messages 10 times a second.
