Re: pic: cRIO CAN Jag

NItro had the same three motor controllers on it last year at NIWeek (first week of Aug 2008). Only back then, the plastics weren't on it. The CAN control was functional back then.

A couple of other clarifications.
1. The left-most CAN jack of the bottom Jaguar is indeed for termination. A 120 ohm resistor is crimped across the inner two contacts.
2. The CAN jack is nor RJ45, it is a 6 position 4 conductor jack (6P4C).
3. When replacing a Jaguar, an address does need to be assigned to it. This is a trivial process and can be done in seconds.
