Re: Serial to CAN Gateway in new Black Jaguars?
Trusted mode and untrusted mode are no longer necessary. The current Jaguar firmware expects a "token" when sent a throttle request via CAN. This token is generated by the cRIO. If the CAN frame setting throttle does not contain the token the Jaguar sets its output to 0. This latest implementation allows teams to create there own CAN nodes without having to use PWM cables and allows teams to generate CAN frames over Ethernet.
