Re: CAN "GetStatus" Function not working

Team 1071 is also having this problem. Speed values are output correctly over BDC-COMM and Current data is reported properly through the cRio, however when attempting to read speed values over our cRio the value returned is simply always 0. No errors are reported from the GetStatus vi, the values are just always 0. We've tried this on numerous jaguars with numerous encoders, numerous wiring, etc. We've selected quadrature encoder and set the correct CPR. I've confirmed with the GetSpeedRef vi that the jaguar is being properly configured, and I can't really debug much further than that.

Based on some of these other comments I can't help but speculate that there's something wrong with the current firmware or Labview CAN libraries?

Is there anyone that is able to access speed data from an encoder through a CAN Jaguar?
