Thanks for the reply. I talked to the control systems people on my team and they set the ID of the black Jaguar using the bdc-comm utility to 2. I tried the code again, however, with the ID given in the constructor of the black jaguar to 2, and I still get the exact same behavior.
So, while it seems that I did have the wrong port, that isn't the reason I get these errors. Any advice?
Thanks,
Kevin
EDIT: yes, the driver loads correctly, as seen from the network console. The black jaguar utilities show that the Jaguar is functioning fine and the wiring is fine. I'm very confused...
