Re: Com wire

The wire for FRC CAN doesn't really matter. I would use stranded as the equipment is made to hold it in easier than solid core. During Beta, I used the KOP Link Connector Cable (Black, Red, White Green 4 conductor). I used R & B for power and W & G for CAN. It worked even without a can bus termination resistor. Really, for our distances and usage, it's robust you don't need to worry about it.

Typically we use 22AWG 4C unshielded wire.
