My team used CAN last year, so our C++ code from 2010 contains examples. That code can be
here.
I have attached excerpts of our code from last year which deal specifically with using the CAN bus. At the end of the file there is also an excerpt from the 2011 C++ RobotDrive class which shows how to use synchronization. (found in CANExamples.txt)
Synchronization uses an 8-bit mask which is sent to the motors when the output speed is set, and then a later function is used to send a packet to the Jaguars telling them to execute the previously sent command. A enumerated list of the synchronization groups can be found in the other attached file (synchronization.txt).
If you have any questions about any of the code examples I gave feel free to ask me.
Hope this helps.
