Re: CAN on the entire 2012 robot
We had 7 jags on our canbus without issues. 4 were on the mechanum drive cims, 2 on the fisherprice shooter motor, & one on a banebot 500 conveyor. Only the mechanum drives would be what I consider to be heavily loaded. We used the serial port on the Crio, Anal about the canbus wiring, and careful not to overload the canbus network with traffic. Had zero problems once other issues were sorted.
I did find out that there is an issue with the First implementation of canbus. If you write to an non existent node (Read resetting as well) You will crash the canbus. As I understand it the canbus "driver" on the Crio waits for an acknowledgement that never comes.
