Star topology is not recommended. This use case is not common, nor is it suggested in the DW
CAN bus specification. This nonstandard implementation requires careful study and analysis of
the candidate bus cable, which is typically beyond the capabilities of a typical FRC team.
This topology may be used when performing basic testing on a bench-setup with a small network
(few modules and short cable travel). However, this use case should not be construed as
evidence guaranteeing that star topology is a robust solution. Star topology is not a robust
general solution to be relied on for critical applications.
Ring topology is not recommended. This use case is not common, nor is it suggested in the DW
CAN bus specification. This nonstandard implementation requires careful study and analysis of
the candidate bus cable, which is typically beyond the capabilities of a typical FRC team.
