Re: CAN Jaguar: could longer CAN cables cause problems?

Essentially, it says that unless you have over 40 meters of cable there shouldn't be an issue (I'm assuming the highest bitrate to provide a lower bound), but also notes that the resistance of the resistor should be changed depending on the cable length.
That is for the NI CAN modules, which we don't use. Per the Jaguar Datasheet, the total cable length shouldn't exceed 20ft.
