Incorrect info regarding CAN connections was created by Annem
I was trying to set a RoboCAN with 2 nodes. I was told to check out this article(
link
). In the article, it says pins 8 and 20 in the 25pin port are set as CAN_L and CAN_H in roboteq devices. I read this and did the connections accordingly which is why i believe i couldn't detect the second node as the CAN_L and CAN_H are different in different roboteq devices. See the attached files for reference.

Hello Annem,
Do you have your controllers connected to your PC with USB at the same time as you are trying to use CAN? If so this is the issue. The model of controller you have is an older hardware revision. With this controller you cannot use USB and CAN at the same time. If you want to use CAN at the same time as your controller is connected to you PC, you will need to use an RS232 serial connection instead of USB.

That is not the issue. I am using rs232 alone right now. But the issue i am talking about is the fact that in the article it says 8 and 20 pins in roboteq devices are CAN_L and CAN_H which is not the case. I looked at the HDC2450 datasheet and realized that the CAN connections are on the DB9 port.

You are correct, this is an error in the article, I apologize for the confusion. You will use pins 2 and 7 on the DB9 connector of your HDC2460. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will amend the article right away
