Re: Jags randomly stop working?
In the past (2010, 2011) we had some pretty significant errors using CAN with the Jaguars. If the connectors came loose at all they would shut down. Sometimes waiting 45-60 seconds would bring them back, sometimes it would take power cycling the robot. As a result we don't use CAN any more (even though it has many features we would like). I do know a couple of mentors whose teams use CAN successfully. They use tape and/or zip ties to secure the connections so that the cables cannot be jarred loose.
