CAN SDK

Our Boards Test Link

• Arduino + MCP2551 CAN Module <-> Raspberry CAN RS485 Shield <-> USB-CAN sLCAN Board
• Any of these two will work.

CAN UCCB Commands

UCCB examples

000005: C  (send close command) 
000006: v  (ask for firmware version)
000007: v0102 (get version number from device)
000008: V   (ask for hardware version)
000009: V0101
000010: N   
000011: N16000000
000012: W2D00
000013:
000014: S8  (set speed to 1000000 b/s)
000015: 
000016: O   (open CAN for frame transmission and reception)
000017: 
000018: t00181122334455667788 (transmit frame type standard id = 1 length 8 bytes)
000019: z
000020: t0890
000021: M00007000000010000000010    (set id filter for ID=1 and ID=1)

data command: t00181122334455667788 = t / 001 / 8 / 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88

• 001 is identifier, length = 8bytes

Linux | RPI

config SPI CAN: edit in file /boot/config.txt, and add following line

dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=12000000,interrupt=25,spimaxfrequency=2000000

Reboot and check if installed: dmesg | grep -i '\(can\|spi\)'

[    3.443582] CAN device driver interface
[    3.469391] mcp251x spi0.0 can0: MCP2515 successfully initialized.

Python

• first install library sudo pip install python-can

msg = bus.recv(10.0) #timeout 10 seconds

• Test send from USB CAN C = close port, S3 = set to 100K speed, O = open port, t00181122334455667788 = send data

• Test receive: root@work:/home/pi/rpi/interface/CAN/python# python receive.py

Timestamp: 1576078751.049400        ID: 0001    S                DLC:  8    11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88     Channel: can0
