CANJaguar error with 2015 C++ port sendMessage

[RufflesRidge]

Have you updated the Jaguar to v109 firmware? Have you checked using the roboRIO webdash that the roboRIO can see the Jaguar you are trying to talk to and that the ID is what you expect?

Yeah, we have updated all of the jags to v109, however we cannot see the jags in the roboRIO panel. It only shows the PDP and the PCM. We have the roboRIO as the start of the CAN network and the terminator as one of the jags. We also have set the PDP terminator jumper switch to off, so it should be able to detect the jags after the PDP.

If they don't show up in the webdashboard they won't work in your code either. That's the issue to solve first. It sounds like the most likely causes would be your convertor between the twisted pair and RJ connector is not wired correctly or your termination is not correct.

Thanks! I'll try that. Our meeting is over today so I don't have the robot on me at the moment. (I wish we could afford some talon srx's right now!)

It was a wiring issue with the JAGs.

Thanks for the help.
