Clarify Sim CAN Device Documentation #6679

Closed CoolSpy3 closed 4 months ago

CoolSpy3 commented 4 months ago

The way the current documentation is written implies that WebSockets nodes of the type CAN* are created as SimDevice nodes that are differentiated by a unique naming convention. In actuality, they have unique device types, and the naming convention is how they are created through the WPILib C/Java API. This PR clarifies that distinction and updates the machine-readable spec, which was written with the incorrect interpretation in mind.
