Did you connect both channels? Or just one (the OP's question).

We are doing speed control on it although we did not use the Jaguar's built-in PID. We used our own PID controller library in the cRIO.
Am I understanding correctly: You connected the encoder to the Jag, then using CAN you read the speed from the Jag, then used that speed as the feedback to a PID on cRIO, then used the cRIO's PID output to command the Jag?
