Re: How many teams plan on using CAN this year?
We're planning to use CAN this year as well. All of the pluses for control and reporting that were mentioned earlier come to mind. We also had good luck with the CAN controls as long as you make sure the termination is working correctly.
I added a fair amount of code to the CAN library last season and most of my additions should show up in the WPILib version of the CAN code this year. Some really cool features like group commanding so you can issue commands to all of the Jags to prep and then a single group sync command will activate all of the Jags at once. I'm also interested in using a TouCAN Ethernet to CAN bridge this year. That should address some of the latency issues of the serial interface flavor that we encountered last season. HTH, Mike
