As his post said, he was using the RS232-to-CAN bridging capability of a black Jaguar (the first in the chain).

I sent Mike a PM indicating that reliability could be improved by ensuring that the CAN bus was terminated with 100 ohm resistors (one at each end). Yes, I know that the CAN bus specifies 120 ohm termination at each end, but the 100 ohm values was specified by LMI/TI to improve bus timing in the change from dominant to recessive.

One thing that I'd suggest is that teams use CAN for the things that need CAN and use PWM elsewhere. PWM is "free" CAN bandwidth.
