cRIO serial-CAN no signal

Yes, it creates the communication. You use it just like the other objects after instantiation for open loop control. Start simple. Try using just one Jaguar to start with and set it to a constant value. Reuse the cable you made for programming the Jags to be sure that isn't a problem.

Does your Allen Bradley signal light blink? They moved the modules this year (not sure if other stuff is working). You also need to make sure the switch on the cRIO is set to off for the console. Check NetConsole for error messages.

C++ code

CANJaguar m_motor(5);
m_motor.Set(0.1);

Pretty simple most of the time. Or:

CANJaguar *m_motor;

m_motor = new CANJaguar(5);

m_motor->Set(0.1);

I think you have to use the latter to pass to RobotDrive...

I don't actually recall if our signal light blinks, it's half hidden at the top of our bot. I know the modules are correct, I had the robot driving on PWM second day of the season with new firmware and such. I will try with just one jaguar today, and see if I can get any results. I will be with robot today until about 4 pm EST if there any specific questions that you want me to answer.
Thanks.
