Re: Updated CAN Jaguar Issue

After kickoff, we moved the controller board to a new prototype chassis--all CAN and encoder wiring stayed exactly the same. We then updated:

1) cRio -> image v25, with black jag serial plugin selected
2) Driver station
3) Black jags -> firmware version 92
4) Netbeans plugins
Alexander,

Did you try the setup after transferring the parts and before updating the firmware/software? When it comes to designing complicated systems only change one (or as few as possible) thing(s) at a time before testing again. This may seem like it takes longer, but it's worth it. It's like writing all of your code for the year without testing it at the end. Test the components along the way and you're likely to end up with a fully functioning design.

Now aside from that, I've got nothing helpful . Sorry.
