Excellent video explaining CAN Bus, Terminator resistors and Diagnosing problems

[Jim Prior]

While educating myself about the DCC CAN Bus and what I should be doing with my railway setup I came upon the following Youtube video about the topic.
Ok it's as applied to the motor industry, but it really helped me understand the how and why and how you can test things.

CAN Bus Properties and Troubleshooting

Hope this is of use to some folks!

Have you heard of MERG they have a system called CBUS that uses CANBUS.
I joined and found their resources (kits) and help were excellent.
While mainly focused on smaller scales the principles remain the same for G scale.

Hi GAP,
I was reading about MERG on DCCWiki yesterday, but you've made me take a proper look at their site.
Looks just up my street, electronic kits, programming and trains
