Plugin update for 2CAN

A new plugin has been released for the 2CAN. This addresses the issue where the plugin had to be added at the end of the startup dll list in ni-rt.ini. Now the procedure is identical to installing the FRC_BlackJagBridgePlugin. Place the out file immediately after FRC_NetworkCommunications.

Symptom that should be fixed:
Labview/C++/Java examples from first forge returning error -52010(in console output and error output in VIs)

Testing with latest Labview example from firstforge still appears to be returning error code -52007. We are working with Joe Hershberger(NI) to resolve this as soon as possible. However the latest C++ and Java examples from firstforge should work.

New User manual (1.2) and out file can be downloaded at...
http://www.crosstheroadelectronics.com/2CAN.htm

Labview/C++/Java using CAN plugins should be downloaded at firstforge.

C++ implementation of 2CAN plugin is also on firstforge but a release has not been placed in "File Releases" yet.

Upcoming Fixes...
-Functioning Labview support
-New LED state for 2CAN when plugin is loaded, but cRIO team application is not yet running (this has been requested in several places on CD).
-Will change LED states in 2CAN to better differentiate between bootloader blink and normal blink(robot is disabled/off/plugin not loaded). Currently both are an orange blink.

We apologize for these delays. The specifics on implementing a CAN plugin were released just prior to kickoff and we are reacting as diligently as possible. As a team mentor I understand the importance of having these tools function in a timely manner. I hope the diagnostic features of the 2CAN have been beneficial in the interim.
