CAN

USB-CAN

We at Dyno use two slightly different clones of the Lawicel CANUSB USB can interface.

• 70200 from Auvidea with muCAN firmware
• CANable with cantact firmware

Full instructions for setup and troubleshooting with socketcan on Linux can be found here.

Here are the necessary steps in short form:

• Copy 90-slcan.rules from this repo to /etc/udev/rules.d/.
• Copy the contents of the slcan folder in this repo to /usr/local/bin and make sure the scripts are exucutable.
• Run sudo apt-get install can-utils at in a terminal.
• Add can, can_raw and slcan to /etc/modules as a list (each goes in a separate line).
• Restart the computer.

Note

With this default setup, the speed of the CAN bus is set to 1000 Kbit/s

We also have a PCAN-USB interface.

To test that everyting is working, connect an interface run candump can0 in one terminal and cansend can0 123#DEADBEEF.

You should see the message you sent in the terminal where you ran candump.
