CAN IO

Hi

I am trying and failing to use the CAN functionality to transmit Raw CAN data from pi/RIO to pi/RIO.

I am using pi4J to write serial config commands and CAN tx commands as shown below, on the receiving I am constantly checking the CAN Frame count and displaying the returned result which is always CF=0

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

TX pi/RIO :-

^CEN 1
^CBR 2500
^CNOD 1
!CS 1 5
!CS 3 2
!CS 4 3
!CS 2 2

Rx pi/RIO :-

^CEN 1
^CBR 2500
^CLSN 0
?CF
# 50

We are currently working on getting the can issue fixed in the firmware. At this time, I don't have an ETA of when this will get resolved that I can give you. Our sincere apologies.

Hi Thanks

Does this mean that CAN currently doesn't work ?

Unfortunately yes, can is not working at this time.

So it looks like we are looking to release the latest firmware release in about 2 weeks.

Is this release targetted at fixing the CAN IO issues ?

Thanks

yes.

Hi Just checking on the ETA of the CAN firmware fix. Desperate for access to CAN functionality.

Is it possible to access CAN data using scripting on the RIO side ?

Will CAN data be made available via the daemon/shared memory ?

Thanks

Attached is beta firmware with CAN enabled. Both MiniCAN and RawCAN are implemented.

If you have a RIO with USB, from the console, send %DFU 32165487 to enther the update mode. You will need to unplug and replug the USB in order for windows to rediscover the card.

After cycling power, the board should be operational again.

Install the XML file into C:\Program Files (x86)\Roboteq\NavSensor\Trees. After restarting the PC utility, you will see a CAN menu.

You can, and it is recommended, that you use the RIO's Microbasic scripting capability in order to perform low level processing of the CAN frames, and keep the RPI for higher level processing. But to start and get familiar, you may want to do it all with the RPI.

Hi I tried updating the firmware via com port (although this is actually a usb to serial converter)

Received an error on the last parts of the upload. Now I can't get any response from the RIO board.

I have tried riocom from the RPI and the RIO Configuration utility.

What do I do now ?????
