Controlling CAN Jaguar directly from PC (No cRIO)

[dgstone18]

Hi, I am currently working on a robot project in my high school honors robotics class and we are attempting to interface and control two black jaguars through the CAN interface directly connected to a laptops serial/usb port. I know that the connection is working because I can control motors with the bdc-comm program as it is being recognised as a comm port. We are using the labview package supplied through the FIRST program and all updates are installed. After messing around with the VIs and scouring the internet, it seems that all of WPI labview VIs are dependant on the cRIO. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to program the jaguars while completely bypassing the cRIO. Also using a pwm interface is also an option for us so any help doesn't need to be CAN specific. Whether it be using new VIs or changing the current VIs, any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks
