Re: CAN Cables

We make our own, but if you want to survive the season, it is really important that you be able to test the cables, especially if we were making them for you. My kids made an arduino based tester that works really well - we could probably dig up the documentation if you like, but it's a right-sized project for students. It's important that you test them while wiggling the cable... Intermittent CAN cables are no fun to debug if there's more than one.
