I ended up ordering the CAN translator so I can monitor the controller -
Any tricks or pointers to getting it hooked up other than this thread?
Update since I originally posted - I just got an email from Thunderstruck - “Hello and thanks for ordering with us. There may be a small wait on your CAN Translator. It originally was designed for use only with our controllers that we sell, since we program the controller to work with it before shipping them out. However, we have a version that will not require programming that should be finished very soon. I’ll send you a tracking number as soon as it is ready.” @MikeKC does that make sense to you?
