Good evening members of CD,

This year our team decided we would go down the CAN route, enticed by the features offered by it. Originally turned down by the 200 dollar 2CAN, we discovered we could do CAN cheaper with the serial port on the cRio. I have been heading up the change over to CAN. I have updated the firmware of all the Jaguars we are using (3 black ones and 1 tan) to version 101 with BDC-COMM via the usb to DB-9 serial to rj11 adapter that we got in the KOP this year. I can manually control each one though the CAN bus into my computer (all the lights are solid yellow when i open BDC-COMM, and i can set the voltages/current etc). The problem is, plugging the serial to rj-11 adpater into the cRIO's serial port, the jaguars still indicate no signal. I have formatted our 8-slot cRIO for Java with the newest 2012 (v43) firmware including the serial CAN plugin.

Any help would appreciated on this. This is also my first post, so tell me if there is anything i should know next time i post.

Thanks
