My thoughts were exactly that too, oops. If its CAN it should not matter but somehow it did and theres way too many combinations to try changing the boards around to get the right order, So it went on a trailer and I burnt some diesel to get it to a local shop to fixThe CMU boards are reporting data via the CAN bus, which means they’re all in parallel and therefore the order doesn’t matter:

On the other hand, the facility to re-number the CMU IDs is indeed daisy chained, wouldn’t have thought the order mattered in that regard but seemingly it does, thanks for clarifying.
