Question Problems with the AS5145B and CAN

Our team has decided to use the AS5145B encoder for some of our motors this year. However, we are running into a few problems.

We've double-checked and we are sure that the encoder is hooked up to the Jaguar correctly, however, in the Labview example project, the motor just keeps increasing speed and and encoder doesn't return return any data.

Also in the BDC-COMM application, when we use Position mode and Set the PID to some simple test values (12, 0, 0) the motor just turns and never stops. When we check the Periodic Status Messages, we see that the data returned is just 0.00 for POS B0-3 and Speed B0-3.

I'm stumped. Anyone else figured this thing out?
