Re: RoboRIO unable to detect Jaguars wired through CAN
When you connected with BDC-COMM was it over serial or CAN? I mean if you BDC-COMM (rs232) to one Jag, can you discover the second Jag over CAN?

When using BDC-COMM the Jag you rs-232 connect to is the gateway, but you should be able to discover/setid the other Jag on the CAN bus. You should be able to discover each Jag using the other as the gateway in this fashion. Using only rj11 cabling, there shouldn't be a chance of flipping the lines, and it would at least prove the Jags are CAN-capable.

Then the next step would be to take one Jag and connect to the RIO and see if that works. If not then it's likely cabling between the simple wires and the rj11.
