AIM Strada on CAN

If I connect the AIM to can and M600 to can everything works and displays properly. If I connect the UTC and M600 I can read write to the M600. If I connect AIM, M600 and UTC everything work, but the when I hook up the usb cable to my laptop I can't get comms with M600 and the AIM won't display.
My can bus is a shielded twisted pair in a jacket with a 100ohm resistor on one end, the UTC is 5' away 10"from the other end of the can bus.
With everything connected I get 35ohm on the bus. Any help would help :mrgreen:

I would start with another resistor on the other end of the bus.

That should help.

It is not an unusual problem with AIM dashes combined with MX00 however.

Not sure I solved the problem, but I got it working by changing the data rate from 1mbit to 500kbit in Motec software. Now it works everytime. It is a little slow when retrieving a log from Motec, but it works.
