Re: Serial to CAN Gateway in new Black Jaguars?

In following the beta forums(as a team that helped out as part of one of the teams that was part of the labview beta and not a hardware beta test team) it sounded like the cRIO serial port is the planned way of interfacing with the new Jags and then the new jag would act like a bridge to the old jags. as of right now the serial port is only being used for diagnostic data if i understand correctly.

Again the thing to always keep in mind is that just because it is being tested as part of the beta this year doesn't mean that the GDC will actually allow the use of CAN for the competition this year.

Please anyone else please pipe up and correct me if i'm wrong on this.
