You'll get faster results by posting this one in a separate thread.
Several really good programming and control specialists haunt CD, but a thread titled "motor failure" might not attract their notice soon.
CAN is an acronym for "controller area network". In an FRC control system with Jaguars, it is a two-way communication channel that enables both commands to and feedback from the motor controllers.
