Im using Java and YEGSL to try and get ThriftyBot swerve modules running. Using 2 spark Max and Neos with a Thrifty absolute encoder. I got the program to build, and deploy to the robot. I never get Robot Code shown on the driver station and keep getting
CANSparkMax object created for CAN ID 5, which is not a SPARK MAX. Some functionalities may not work.
for all of my Spark Max.
is a link to my program. Its not complete and is not tuned for actual driving, however I was trying to hopefully get some movement out of the modules.
Based on the configuration in the deploy folder you have in fact set the motors to can id 5. Please double check the IDs in those files to validate against your actual id’s. These modules are set up in the “deploy” folder in the project. There is one file per module. It seems like this was set up too the back right module.
Sorry for not clarifying. I’m getting them for all motors, I just pulled the CAN ID5 as the example. All of my motors and CAN ids are throwing the error
Is there any reason you are not explicitly pulling down the YAGSL-Example repo setting your Id’s there and attempting to deploy that ? Might be worth a good try before you jump into building it with a brand new project.
Maybe it could be a wiring issue, or maybe it’s defective? I suggest booting up the REV Hardware Client, and checking verifying that the client recognizes all of your spark max’s.
Try clearing all sticky faults, reconnect the motor controller, or use a different SparkMax.
Using the example, configured to our robot, Which is here
Im getting
ERROR  4  [CAN SPARK] IDs: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, WPILib or External HAL Error: CAN: Message not found Periodic Status 2
with all my sparks still. I am able to see them all and the RoboRio/PDP on the Rev Client and I made sure everything was up to date. Im able to drive all of the Sparks from the Rev Client over CAN with the rio disconnected. So I dont think I have a bad Spark.
I am no where near an expert, i prefer the term “experienced idiot” .
Anyways this error is normally the result of a broken can line between the last working id and the first error ID. There are a few other things that it can be which i am checking now. It does not look like it can be anything else rn
Im getting
[CAN SPARK] IDs: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, WPILib or External HAL Error: CAN: Message not found Periodic Status 2.
ive checked all of the CAN wiring, and im able to see all the controllers, PDP and roboRio in the revClient with no CAN errors. Ive tried updating everything to the 2025 release that came out today and am getting the same error. Im also able to drive all of the spark maxes manually from the rev client. So im guessing there is something stopping the roboRio from communicating with them.
Im also getting
CANSparkMax object created for CAN ID 5, which is not a SPARK MAX. Some functionalities may not work.
for all my CAN ID of spark maxes. Im assuming this is related to them not communicating.
