Re: CAN Jaguar Wiring with RoboRIO

All CTRE CAN devices are two wires for CAN. Running ground along with CAN is potentially bad. Imagine a Jag driving a load, then suddenly it loses it's ground connection (bad Anderson or black screw terminal loose). Now you have a motor load sourcing current through the Jag's tiny digital ground on the RJ11. Great way to fry wires.
