CAN from scratch

That link works.

Some other things to be aware about:

CAN cable is pretty much standard phone cable (some small differences) so there is industry support for it. By that I mean we got a crimper that can make a cable in seconds, as opposed to PWM (don't get me started).

The 2CAN has 2 ethernet and 1 CAN port on it; one ethernet goes to the c-RIO, the other goes to either the bridge or the camera (depending on what c-RIO port you plugged it into) and the CAN goes to a jaguar. It has a really nice web interface, which shows you, among other things, input and ?output voltages, temperature, fault condition (internal circuit breakers), current, and lots of other great stuff. It also makes it dead easy to do other fun stuff (setting IDs, reflashing firmware (which didn't actually work for me...)) and is generally cool.

The only problem is it has a really short power cable coming out of it.

The black jaguar converter is also really nice, and much cheaper if you care about that.
