Hardware Interface Configuration Instructions

The level of the Raspberry Pi logic system is 3.3V. When using RS485-Dual-CAN-I, the user needs to pull the logic voltage slide switch in the lower right corner of the board to 3.3V. The sample program on the Raspberry Pi motherboard uses the pin definition of wiringPi number, and the wiring definition of the Raspberry Pi motherboard is shown in the following table:

Demo Codes Usage

Wiringpi Library Installation

sudo apt-get install wiringpi
wget https://project-downloads.drogon.net/wiringpi-latest.deb #Version 4B upgrade of Raspberry Pi
sudo dpkg -i wiringpi-latest.deb
gpio -v #

If version 2.52 appears, the installation is successful

For the Bullseye branch system, use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi
cd WiringPi
./build
gpio -v

#Running gpio - v will result in version 2.70. If it does not appear, it indicates an installation error

If the error prompt "ImportError: No module named 'wiringpi'" appears when running the python version of the sample program, run the following command

#For Python 2. x version

pip install wiringpi

#For Python 3. x version

 pip3 install wiringpi

Note: If the installation fails, you can try the following compilation and installation:

 git clone --recursive https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Python.git

Note: The -- recursive option can automatically pull the submodule, otherwise you need to download it manually.

Enter the WiringPi Python folder you just downloaded, enter the following command, compile and install:

#For Python 2. x version

 sudo python setup.py install

#For Python version 3. X

 sudo python3 setup.py install

If the following error occurs:

At this time, enter the command "sudo apt install swig" to install swig. After that, compile and install sudo python3 setup.py install. If a message similar to the following appears, the installation is successful.

Configure the serial port

sudo raspi-config

serial configuration enableInterface Options -< Serial Port -< YesRun update sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get update

Stop and disable the console function of the serial port

sudo systemctl stop [email protected]
sudo systemctl disable [email protected]

The system defaults serial0 as the serial port in the console login mode. At this time, we need to cancel the console login function to avoid conflicts. Use the command "sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt" to open the ".txt file", delete or comment in the opened file the following sentence.

console=serial0,115200

The programming conmmand is

sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt0

Finally modify the content to

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4

elevator=dealine fsck.repari=yes rootwait

Open SPI Interface

sudo raspi-config

Enable SPI interface:

Interfacing Options -> SPI -> Yes

To view enable SPI device:

ls /dev/spi* #

ls /dev/spi* #

The following will be printed:"/dev/spidev0.0"and"/dev/spidev0.1"

Installation of Python Library

The demo codes uses the python 3 environment. To run the python demo codes, you need to install the spidev libraries. Enter the following commands in order to install:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install spidev

System configuration instructions

The system configuration statement format of mcp2515 in /boot/config.txt is:

dtoverlay=mcp2515,spiA-B,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=INT0

dtoverlay=mcp2515,spiC-D,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=INT1

Among them, the actual values of A, B, C, D, INT0, and INT1 are determined by the state of the 8-bit DIP switch, as shown in Table 2-2 below:

It can be seen from Table 2-2 that the value of INT0 and INT1 is the value of the BCM corresponding to its GPIO. When the CAN function is used normally, the states of the two GPIOs corresponding to each function pin are opposite. This is to ensure that Only one function pin is connected to the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi at the same time, for example, when the status of the DIP switch is shown in Table 2-3 below

After comparing with Table 2-2, the statement configured in /boot/config.txt at this time

dtoverlay=mcp2515,spi0-1,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25

dtoverlay=mcp2515,spi1-1,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=24

The RS485 bus uses two sets of UARTs for users to switch, namely the "mini serial port" /dev/ttyS0 (corresponding to TXD0 and RXD0) and the hardware serial port /dev/ttyAMA1 (corresponding to TXD2 and RXD2), of which /dev/ttyS0 has low performance , the function is also simple, and there is no dedicated clock source for the baud rate but is provided by the CPU core clock, so the weakness of the "mini serial port" is: the baud rate is affected by the core clock, if the core intelligently adjusts the power consumption to reduce the main frequency , the corresponding baud rate of the mini serial port will be implicated. And /dev/ttyAMA1 has a separate baud rate clock source, with high performance and reliability. When users enable /dev/ttyAMA1, they need to add the "dtoverlay=uart2" statement in a single line in the /boot/config.txt file.

If users need serial port 0 (TXD0 and RXD0) to have the same performance as serial port 2, they need to add the "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt" statement in a single line in the /boot/config.txt file. After restarting, "/dev/ttyS0" is swapped with "/dev/ttyAMA0", and the serial port 0 (TXD0 and RXD0) device symbol becomes /dev/ttyAMA0, which has the same high performance as serial port 2.

After testing, when the serial port 0 (TXD0 and RXD0) uses ttyS0, the baud rate range can only reach 1200~921600bps, while when using ttyAMA0, the range can reach 200~921600bps.

Demo codes

1）When the module leaves the factory, the status of the DIP switch is set as follows:

Run the command "sudo nano /boot/config.txt" to open the .txt file, and add the following content (if you need to switch to other states, please refer to Table 2-2 in Chapter 2.2.5 System Configuration Instructions):

dtoverlay=spi1-3cs

dtoverlay=mcp2515,spi0-1,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25

dtoverlay=mcp2515,spi1-1,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=24

dtoverlay=uart2

2) Run the demo codes to restart the Raspberry Pi

sudo reboot

3) Run the demo codes

dmesg | grep spi

If the following information appears, it means that the initialization has been successful:

If the above information does not appear, you need to check whether the DIP switch setting of the module matches the content added in the /boot/config.txt file.

4) Enter the following command to start can

sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 1000000
sudo ip link set can1 up type can bitrate 1000000

5) Enter the ifconfig command to view:

can0:flags=193<UP,RUNNING,NOARP> mtu 16

........................... can1:flags=193<UP,RUNNING,NOARP> mtu 16

6) Connect H---->H;L---->L of the two CAN interfaces on the board

7) Install the can-utils tool:

sudo apt-get install can-utils

8) can test:

Open two terminal windows and enter the following command on one port to receive data from can0:

candump can0

Another terminal enters the following command for sending data:

cansend can1 123#00.11.22.33.44.55.66

If the H and L signals of the two CAN connections on the board are not connected separately, the terminal of the candump command cannot receive data, and the command is modified in the corresponding terminal to:

candump can1

candump can0 123#11.22.33.44.55.66

Check whether the data is sent and received correctly.

9) Connect the USB to RS485 module to the computer, open the serial port debugging assistant on the computer side, select the device number of the USB to RS485 module as the serial port number, and connect the board RS485 terminal (⑨ in 2-1 resource introduction diagram) and the USB to RS485 module The wiring is:

A-->A

B-->B

GND-->GND

Open the send.py and receive.py files in the /rs485_can/485/ path with Thonny Python IDE on the Raspberry Pi, and modify the content of the following statement according to different baud rates and serial devices: ser = serial. Serial("/dev/ttyAMA0",921600,timeout=0.2)

The first parameter in the above Serial function is the symbol of the selected serial port device. When the serial port signal selection switch (see○13in the 2-1 resource profile diagram) is turned to the left (TXD2, RXD2), the parameter is "/dev /ttyAMA1", when the serial port signal selection switch is turned to the right (TXD0, RXD0), then the parameter is "/dev/ttyS0" or "/dev/ttyAMA0", the corresponding settings can refer to the above 2.2.4 system configuration Describes the content of the chapter.
