Issue with Jaguar Communication

[rebelreyek]

Hey everyone!

This is our team’s 3rd year using Jags with CAN communications on our robot. We had a bare-bones electrical system including said Jag/CAN combo running with the roboRIO until recently. However, when we updated to BDC-COMM version 109, we’ve had a ton of issues with connectivity.

While driving and operating our robot, it appears as though the Jags lose communication for a second, causing the entire system to “stutter.” This has been really problematic as it makes driving and operating jerky and difficult.

Does anyone have an idea as to what the cause of this might be, whether with the BDC-COMM version or something entirely different?

Thanks!
