Re: Anderson PowerPole for CAN bus?

M,
There isn't a rule that specifies connectors for the CAN bus but I have to ask "why"? This is a critical part of the robot and should be treated a such. For that reason I highly recommend as few connections as possible. If you are going to use the APP connectors, be sure to use the 15 amp terminals and if your wire is very small gauge, I recommend you strip twice the length needed and fold over the exposed wire before inserting. This will give you a more reliable crimp. Don't forget the need to terminate the bus.
