Also, serial will get you CAN with no extra weight since you just need to replace a gray jag with a black one

1) 2CAN has a 2nd ethernet port and acts as a switch as well as a CAN adapter, so you can use the camera and 2CAN at the same time
2) The Serial CAN plugin is built only to work with the RS232 port on the cRIO
