Re: Using a star configuation for Jaguars on CAN
How important was it to have equal length arms? If that's vital that would be a deal killer for us since all that wire hanging around would start to look ugly real fast.
An active star module that allowed every jaguar to remain at it's default address of 0 would be very cool. You'd determine which address it had by the jack it was plugged into on the star module, just like PWM. The active module would handle translating the address from the cRio and rebroadcasting the signal to each device with the proper address. The advantage is then if a Jaguar fails, you just slap in a new one. I know that's just a fantasy, though.
