Re: CAN vs PWM
my team might try it... since we will end up buying a black jag anyway, all it is to us is a db9 plug and a some rj11 parts (we already have the crimper).

i fiund a good pdf by 116 on the subject, but the programming instructions are for C++. we are using labview.

two questions:

1. what all does the programmer need to know to convert the code written for pwm to CAN?

2. is the cRIO FTP thing the same?

the electrical and firmware thing i have down... I was made electrical subteam leader today and i read the pdf and my laptop is set to be a reflash device (you use the homemade serial dongle to do that, right?).

any other advice?
