Re: LabView Trouble with CAN
Make sure you are running the latest (v87) version of the jaguar firmware. Also make sure the IDs are unique and correct.

What interface are you using to run the CAN? 2CAN or Black Jag? Make sure you have the plugin for that one correctly installed.

Also make sure you physically wired the CAN bus properly, with the daisy chaining, terminator plug on the end, and (if using serial) on the RJ-12 to RS-232 connector the resistor was properly wired.

Try running the jags from a regular computer. All of the ones on the CAN bus should stay solid yellow all of the time. If there is intermittent blinking then there are connection problems on the CAN bus

If you are using serial, make sure the console out switch is turned off. Off is with the lower part facing away from the cRIO modules.

Also try running the CAN with only those 4 jags. Just un-wire the rest of them and remove them from code.
