We are working with SparkMax motor controllers to control the neos in our swerve drivetrain. We are receiving an error for two of our SparkMaxes: [CAN SPARK] IDs: 7, 8, timed out while waiting for Periodic Status 2. Here is the code that we are running. For reference, our CAN Bus contains eight SparkMax motor controllers, four CANCoders, and one Pigeon 2.0. Any help would be much appreciated.
We have this issue too with the same setup. It doesn’t appear to negatively affect our code’s performance in any way, it’s just a warning that comes up on startup while the software is running through its initialization and hasn’t necessarily connected to everything on the CAN bus just yet. If the error keeps showing up while your code is running and not just on code startup, it may be a bigger problem.
Right; if you see the error once it’s not a big deal like you said. However if you’re seeing the error show up again and again while the robot is on, (i.e. periodically) you should check your CAN connections, the IDs of your SPARks, etc
