Re: Success with CAN

Team 41 got their CAN working within the first week and a half (if my memory serves me correctly). We managed to get it moving, but only on kPercentVoltage, we tried writing our own kCurrent, but never tested it fully. We put the current control aside to try getting the speed to work with encoders, currently not working though.

We did brick one jaguar today so I am looking into using a JTAG to unbrick it.
**Note I have a high suspicion you may have to set the address before updating the firmware. Even if it responds on 1, change it.** We flashed about 10 jaguars, with the 86 firmware, and then again when 87 came out.

I voted yes but with problems.
