CAN not working

Hello everybody.

This year, our team was planning on using PWMs for controlling our Jags, but came across the rule saying that we have to use CAN communications if we want to use Jags.

We have never implemented CAN before, and are having trouble with it. We've checked, and all of our cables (db9 to rs232, 6P6C, etc.) have been tested and are functioning. We are trying to update the firmware on our Jags but we can't seem to get the BDC-COMM to detect them. When we click enumerate, we don't get the board information like we should.

We do have a terminator on the right side of the jag when we attempt to use BDC-COMM. To the best of our knowledge, we have everything wired correctly.

The BDC-COMM version we have is version 107, and I saw somewhere that the newest version was supposed to be installed with the NI Update Suite.

So, being rather ignorant of the CAN configuration, could you tell me if this is still a wiring issue somewhere, an issue with the BDC-COMM version, or something else entirely?
