Re: Black jaguars: not working
One other thing to add to ellisk's report. When using the BDC-COMM application over RS-232 via a PC we are able to control the Jaguar and it's attached motor. It was thrilling to see a motor actually move! That seems to indicate the problem is not a physical one, at least using RS-232.

I'm about ready to pull the plug, so to speak, on CAN. We'd really like to use the advanced features of Jaguars, and love the way it cleans up the board, but we also need to get on with things. Ellisk is one of the most talented programmers our team has ever had -- four years on the team, four years of CS classes, Intel Science Talent Search finalist, etc.

Do you folks have any final ideas???
