Limit Switches on CAN freaks out

Do we need to FTP the files in, like last year?

I think you do; there's no harm in updating your software.

Remember to change the .ini file also.

NO!

Please do not replace the files in your image. The files that now come in the image are far newer than any that are posted separately on the CAN Jaguar Project on FIRST Forge. Please note that those files are all marked as obsolete. The imaging tool takes care of everything you need.

The only exception is if there is a new release from CTRE for the 2CAN plugin, then you may need to update that. In that case, only replacing the file is needed. The imaging tool will still modify the ini file for you.

Okay, thanks. We won't change anything.

Just hope that the CAN doesn't freak out during a match, or else we will have to do a rapid switch to PWM cables...

Note that there is another thread discussing an issue that may be the same thing.

Can you give any additional information about your setup, such as what language you are using, if you ever see this part way through a match or only on start-up, what CAN interface driver are you using, and any other information you think might help?

Thanks,

Hey, we were having getTransation() and SetTransaction() issues during our regional, our simple fix was to add a Wait(.01) before the drive was called, that fixed our errors, we added this inside our drive forward loop for autonomous, so it doesnt affect our teleop, but it seems to work like a charm, try it out and see if it works. Good luck!

We experienced the scrolling CAN issue during one match at our regional.

Despite rebooting the cRIO 4 times, it didn't help it. After the 5th reboot we were able to drive, but there were only 4 seconds left in the match.

We decided to trash the limit switch.
