Caution - mild rant ahead:
A note to the industrial networking codifiers of the world - why, oh why, do all of your terminating resistors need to be some hairball value that is impossible to find at Radio Shack?
CanBus - 121 ohms. Not 120 ohms (or better yet, 100 ohms) but 121. Specifcally. With tight tolerances.
It seems like when "they" were designing the network, somebody at the lab could have pointed out how much easier it would be to find 100 ohm resistors, and they could have adjusted the circuit design at that point.
Yes, I know it's several years too late to complain now, but if all I can do about a problem is gripe, then I want to contribute where I can.
Grrrrrr.
