Re: cRio Serial to Can Bus Troubleshooting
Our team recently updated our previous year's cRIO with this years code as well, and we cannot talk to the Jags, similar story to you, though we are a LabVIEW team. The other parts of our code work fine (our LEDs light up and compressor turns on). I haven't had a chance to sit down and debug yet.

I believe there is an update to the Jag firmware, as I found v109 on the vex site. After updating all 7 with the BDC-COMM tool I can still not talk to them.

I doubt there is anything physically wrong with the RS-232 port itself, maybe something with the new image, or with how the Jags communicate now?

You can test the port by imaging without the Black CAN Bridge, and using console out, then using RS-232 <--> USB bridge. When you boot up you should see the something from the cRIO.
