Re: Bricked Jaguar?
Mike,

It was done wired, and it was done with 4 JAG's on the bus. It's very possible, the wiring of the CAN bus was faulty.

I bricked a Black one, then tried a Tan one.
Then I gave up and switched to BDC-COMM figuring it's either 2CAN or pilot error on my part(ME!). My USB-Serial has a CAN cable I made myself.

I was speaking with one of the students tonight (by phone) and he was running into CAN timeout issues on setup of working JAGs we had.
I had him recheck all the cables and the terminator, he did find one that was incorrectly made.

When I get some more time, I have one more spare TAN Jag, and I will retest the entire process and document it.
