Multiple CAN networks

[Radical Pi]

I know enough Java to make the changes. The plugin is still C++ though, so you'll need a copy of wind river installed to re-build the plugins

does it have to be windriver or can I use make If i have all of the supporting files?

[Radical Pi]

windriver is needed to generate the makefiles and it also needs the windriver compiler (modified gcc). By default it should be installed on whatever computer has the NI tools (except the classmate). If you absolutely can't I may be able to get my hands on a copy of windriver on tuesday to build the plugins

If it was included in the kit we have it *somewhere*

Ill start digging through code!

[Radical Pi]

well, after digging through the code a bit more I found out that the interfaces to the CAN plugins are handled by the closed-source NetworkCommunication libraries. I think it is possible to bypass the libraries, however doing so will also most likely bypass the disable button for CAN jaguars.

There are two options. one, I can go forward with bypassing the networkcommunication backend and breaking the disable button and all watchdogs, or could you possibly change the cRIO-side jags to PWM mode and still do the networked 2CAN.

I dont see where that would be an issue except with the closed loop control. The connection from the cRIO to the 2CAN sends data through UDP correct? Can we spoof it?
