CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
I am having trouble setting up CAN with more than 2 Jaguars (black to gray). I have tried everything i can think of to make it work, all the cables work, the terminating resistor works, the jaguars work, the RS232 to RJ-12 works, we are connected to a computer with an serial port (no usb emulator), the firmware has been updated to revision 87. It can see two by putting a black then a gray with the terminating resistor, but the moment I attempt to attach a third jag (gray or black) to the network it can only see the first in the series. Also I can't seem to get two black jaguars to connect together.

Re: CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
Have you setup an ID on the grey jag? All jags default to ID 1 and if multiple jags share an ID the bus gets messed up. Also have you tried switching up the cables? Perhaps you didn't make the second cable properly

Re: CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
I have done this already, double checked the ID's and we have 4 cables that are verified working.

Re: CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
Ok so I resolved the issue, it turns out it was the cables. Two were fine, but the other two were damaged, so they have to be remade. Long story short, show all team members making cables how to properly make cables.

Re: CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
You need two terminating resistors, one at each end of the bus.

Re: CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
We are having problems using more than 3 Jag on the CAN bus. Using the BDC-comm, when we add a 4th Jag, all we can see is the 1st Jag! We are using 120 ohms as a terminator between CANH (3) and CANL (4) plugged into the Last Jag on the bus as Black Jaguar 2010.pdf shows. Is this right?

Re: CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
Is the terminator at the cRIO end of the bus connected properly?

Re: CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
I've found that the approach of placing the terminator resistor into the connector, as shown in the GSG, is way too prone to shorting out with repeated insertion and removal cycles. I feel that your best course is to run the wires for the terminator a short distance out of the connector and solder/heat shrink them outside of the RJ-12. That seems to stand up better and avoid the easy short that happens when the two resistor legs touch each other in the connector (they're on adjacent pins).

Re: CAN with more than 2 Jaguars
Or epoxy works too, but crimping that little resistor in was a pain.
As a matter of preference, solder, but as far as aesthetics (And difficulty of removal ), crimping. |
