Also, do you have one cable on the last SRX in the daisy chain just sticking out and not connected to anything? Or does that connect back to the RoboRio/PDP?

Thanks,

My team solders the cables together, because we like clean runs. But do what suits your team best (snap connectors etc.). Also there should never be a can wire hanging out in the open. It should always be connected to something. The general rule is that the CAN chain STARTS at the RoboRIO and ENDS at the PDP. This is because the PDP has a "terminator" which basically terminates the CAN connection.
