Re: NI roboRIO

As the entire electrical system is isolated and powered from the PDP, I would imagine the entire system has a common ground, which should help your stability concerns. From that respect, this isn't a very complicated system.

The RoboRio, PCM, and PDP all have appropriate CAN interface - 2 ports on the RoboRio, clearly labeled High/Low, 4 ports on both the PCM and PDP to facilitate daisy-chaining, again clearly labeled High/Low. Honestly, it's something you could give to a freshman with no knowledge and 9 times out of 10 have it wired up correctly. It's just that easy.
