is where the update is. Unload all of the older nbm files and load the 5 new ones.

Thanks for getting it fixed!
But now I am having a new problem.When I tried to call getSpeed(), it would constantly return 0.0. I looked in the javadoc and it said "returns speed of the motor in RPM based on the configured feedback." How do I configure it so I get a real speed value?

Have you configured a reference sensor?

A call like:

myJag.setSpeedReference(CANJaguar.SpeedReference.kQuadEncoder);

Thanks, I set a position reference but I guess I forgot to set a speed reference. This is the first year that we're using CAN so we still have a lot to learn.

Or if you used the installation over the network, just update.
