Re: 2CAN vs. Serial-to-CAN

Also by using the 2CAN, you leave the serial port open which you can use to connect your debug output too. I can't tell you how often the debug told us the problem.

At the moment there are more utilities for the black jaguar. I read somewhere that you can connect the serial port from the black jag, to your computer and run the bus manually. This should be added to the 2CAN device, as I could see it helping you tune a PID quickly.
