MicroMod3 registers

Post by marek.belisko » Wed 16. Oct 2019, 21:34

Hi,

I want to connect MicroMod3 to can bus with BBB and CAn cape. I cannot read in any manual some description of CAN setup (speed, address) and registers for controlling IO's. It's possible only in windows configuration utility to get such info? Basically I wan to to just use cansend candump to change digital outputs and check inputs. Thanks.

BR,

marek

Hi,

which firmware is used on the PCAN-MicroMod? The standard or the CAN-Open firmware?

Hi,

with the standard firmware, you can configure the PCAN-MicroMod with the MicroMod Configuration Tool, which however is only available for Windows (PCAN PC hardware necessary). What you can do is to configure the MicroMod to your needs with a Windows system, and use it later with Linux and your CAN tools to control the I/Os. Please see manual of PCAN-MicroMod for more details.

Hi,

as said in first post I checked all manuals but cannot find any info about registers and others. So would be possible to point me to exact documentation online. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

there are no registers. The MicroMod will be configured with the PCAN-MicroMod Config Tool, and you can also read out the existing configuration, to see which CAN ID and data is used to set the outputs and which ID and data is used to transmit the inputs by a CAN message. So as a first step, you have to setup a configuration for your MicroMod using PCAN-MicroMod Config tool, to define which ID and data is used. Download this config to the MicroMod, then you can use the MicroMod with your Linux system as CAN I/O device, and send CAN frames to set the outputs, and get frames to read the inputs of the MicroMod.

You can download the MicroMod Config Tool from our support website, the included help will show you how to use the software: https://www.peak-system.com/fileadmin/m ... config.zip
