Re: Setting Up CAN reader - STM32 Nucleo board

I found a link that allows for STM32 to be used in ArduinoIDE. I downloaded the ArduinoIDE and STM programmer.

Re: Setting Up CAN reader - STM32 Nucleo board

If I were to carry out the set-up I found and connected it to a CAN network (contact relay control unit or instrument cluster) should I not be able to read a CAN message at least on the STM board? https://controllerstech.com/can-protocol-in-stm32/ If this is confirmed, I would have thought porting A...

Re: Setting Up CAN reader - STM32 Nucleo board

Yes, it seems later DEV boards have examples ready for applications. My board has CAN pinouts and thought it would be an easy fix to convert. I read that most STM ARM MCU are the same and libraries can be used from one to the other with 'slight' modifications, but I'm no code developer, so might hav...

Re: Setting Up CAN reader - STM32 Nucleo board

Thanks, I followed the wiki https://openinverter.org/wiki/CAN_bus_with_Arduino_Due. I downloaded Collin80 zip files along with Savvy CAN from the links. I now understand how to activate CAN TX and CAN TX on my STM32NuckeoF338R8 board. I connected the SN65HVD230 CAN bus transceiver as per the wiki se...

Thanks uhi22, I have reverted to the initial setup as per the Arduino/Wiki/@Gregski setup. From what I understand.....

Setting Up CAN reader - STM32 Nucleo board

After many moocs on CAN protocol setting up, and reading up the well documented Wiki regarding setting up CAN reader with Arduino-Due, I have to ask if there are any solutions to transport the project to a STM32 board. I downloaded Collin80 Github code, GV-RET library, SavvyCAN I have a Nucleo board...

Re: 1984 Voltswagen Rabbit Prius Gen 3

I got a universal kit and adjusted them once fitted. The main issue to avoid is the travel when they are at their lowest point, ie, wheels lifted off the ground. The driveshafts need to clear the chassis.

After much thought, I put in my vote. Whilst I have a similar project 'sitting here ' running a locked up Prius Gen 2, I could vote for that and hope it helps me get a move on ... However, I feel the setup could be easier if a motor is mounted to the original gearbox....like a Smart. The low châssis...

Please note the Shunt is HV referenced, you NEED a digital isolator somewhere in your interface.

The digital isolator that you speak of is another component.If so, what are you using with t...

Depends, the 'battery' is a glorified accumulator. It stores energy quickly and uses it up just as fast. Voltage before Inverter, as in battery pack voltage is around 200vdc. The inverter buck/boost controls voltage in and out if it, from what I worked out. Damien made a video showing the voltage af...

A potential leak through a HV relay/ contactor? Anything higher than 60vdc is considered high voltage in automotive world. Hope you find the source,even if it's ok, always good to watch out for potential short circuits.
