Re: Anderson PowerPole for CAN bus?

During beta testing we decided to crimp the CAN talons with a three pin header with the center pin left empty. We did this on both ssets of CAN cables on the controller.

Reasons for doing it this way:
  • we already had the crimpers and connectors for PWM cables.
  • female headers prevent exposed contacts that could short to the chassis
  • using a 3 pin connector with the center pin empty allows the controllers to be plugged in to the roboRIO maintaining support for PWM capability.
  • it makes it easy to daisychain controllers together, just use a 3pin male header (see below)

The pin headers for connecting two female cables: http://www.hansenhobbies.com/product...pt1in_srfma40/
