Jaguar Motor Controller Problem

FIRST General Forum

As I was trying to make the RJ12/DB9 convertor, I was putting the pins in the slots and testing to see if it worked, and on one attempt, all of my brown jaguars stopped flashing. I checked to see if they were still getting power with a multimeter, and they were. The black jaguar is still working, and the PD board is fine. I don’t think they all got fried, because it would be too random for seven motor controllers to get fried at the same time. I am using a CAN bus system and when I put a new jaguar at the end, it worked.

Thanks for help,

Does your CAN bus have the proper termination resistance at each end?

When you stated they stopped blinking did you mean they are all illuminated or they are all off?

How were you testing to see if it worked?

Yes it does. I added the new jaguar to the end of the CAN bus and put the terminator in that as well, and it worked.

They are all off. Like I said to “Ether,” I tested by adding another brown jaguar to the end of the line (hooked up to the CAN bus), and it worked.
