If using CAN Jaguars with the 2015 system they can and should be wired directly to the CAN bus with the rest of the CAN devices. Ref: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...he-2015-system
Just going on what the folks at CTRE told me last season. They must have made an adjustment to the CAN format to be compatible. Nonetheless, given all of the options available in 2016, I would hope that teams have moved on from the Jags at this point. God knows 116 has some of the Jags and a bunch of Victor 884s & 888s. However, give the cost of the new MCs, it would be easier to get a new set than continue to screw with the old ones.

I'll make the change in the presentation to reflect the info.

Thanks!
