I am having issues with our CAN Falcon 500’s. We just built a new frame, but when hook up the Falcons through the CANBus system, they blink rapidly orange (meaning connected) and red (meaning disconnected). Has anyone encountered this issue? I have checked the connections and they seem solid, all of the wires come brand new with the Falcons. When I tested for continuity with a voltmeter from the RoboRIO (start of CAN line) to the PDP (end of CAN line), I get a continuous beep.
CAN anybody help? Thanks! (sorry for the bad pun 
The problem has to do with the CAN id being the same for both devices. I recommend removing the breaker on all except one falcon, configure the id, and insert breakers one at a time making sure to configure a new ID for each device.
In addition to @jjsessa’s recommendation, I suggest you read through the documentation for bringing up CAN devices: https://phoenix-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ch08_BringUpCAN.html
This specific problem would be caught in the section LED’s are Red - now what?
That worked perfectly. You’re a lifesaver! Thank you!
Yep. That process fixed our issue. Thank you for the info!
