CANfestival Framework Running on mbed

Is there any example with using of these libraries? I don't see any example to understand how it work. Could anyone help me?

Has anyone been able to get the objdictedit.py program to run? I've tried running it and all I get is a command line flash and nothing else. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

There was an installation step missing, the notebook page has been updated. The object dictionary relies on wxPython as well as gnosis utils.

If anyone else has this problem make sure wxPython is installed on your machine.

The tutorial / example link has unfortunately been taken down:

http://www.canopenmagic.com/presentations/CANopenHOT.pdf

Do you have a copy of the pdf file, or its name so I can try find a copy hosted elsewhere online? I would be very greatful if so!

I added slides from the tutorial. I cant seem to find the original document. Maybe try their contact page and ask for a copy??

http://www.canopenmagic.com/en/contact-us.html

Not sure if the document in question resides here:

http://www.esacademy.com/en/library/technical-articles-and-documents.html

But it does seem there is a lot of good information on CAN at this site. Hope it helps.

Hi Sam, I found a copy on a chinese site, but couldn't download! I've just notived your link - many thanks!

You should be able to access the PDF on the archived version of the website here:

Thanks. Stored a copy on mbed.org and updated the link.

Hallo Sam, I try to compile the Canopen Slave but i get a compiler error

"no instance of constructor "mbed::CANMessage::CANMessage" matches the argument list" in file "framework/driver/mbedcan_mbed.cpp", Line: 58, Col: 99

You may have a look for that?

regards

Joerg

Joerg,

Update to the newest revision(6). There was an error in the typecasting of the CANMessage constructor. Not sure when that was injected.

It works now. Thanks a lot :)

Hallo Sam, the Master communicate with the PC via USB? Are there more documentation? regards

Joerg

Joerg,

The only information about the USB commands is in port_helper.cpp (just in source). It was for debugging purposes. The best documentation about the stack will be found when you clone the repository and navigate to

.\canopen\objdictgen\doc

My question is more I have to use the PCAN-USB from Peak Systems to use the EDS Editor or it works with the mbed Master.

regards

Joerg

Hi Sam,

I have met two problems when using your port of canfestival:

1. After setting the 0x1017 of the OD to 0x3E8 (1s heartbeat), there is no heartbeat when the slave node go into operational state. Am I missing some configuration steps? Or the timer driver is not working properly?

2. The SDO cycle is around 12ms, this is not good enough. I'm using canfestival with a LPC1752 develop board and a Kvaser can-usb cable, the worst SDO cycle is around 5ms. I'm not sure if it's the problem of the mbed driver.

Do you have any ideas about these problems?

Cheers, Simon

Hi Simon,

I haven't worked with this for over a year now but these would be my thoughts on the problems your experiencing...

The micro-scheduler is configured in ./framework/driver/mbed/timer_mbed.cpp

The driver should be using the 3 hardware transmit buffers (https://mbed.org/forum/mbed/topic/790/?page=1#comment-4015) but that revision of the mbed library is much older than what is current. Also, I'm sure you are using a different release of the CANfestival stack on your other board. There are hundreds of patches from this port of the stack and where the CANfestival stack currently is.

Hi Sam,

Thank you very much for you reply. I should replay eailier, but I was very busy untill now I can go through your advise. To your first quote, of course I can change the configuration to make it work. However, since we are using mbed, I think the better way is using mbed API to write the timer driver. And I tried by using Timer and osTimer, the result is very good and the timer driver is very accurate (millisecond level) and simplier. If you don't mind, I can contribue my code.

To your second quote, I think the problem is that the canReceive() is in the main while, loop but not in an interrupt. I will write some code to try when I'm free.

Cheers, Simon

Can someone give me an example on how to send data from slave(mbed) to master(mbed)? Definitions:

Message m2 = {0xFF,0,0x8,{0x00,0x10,0x20,0x30,0x40,0x50,0x60,0x70}};
CAN_PORT cp = 0;

Neither of these work :

canSend(cp,m2);
canSend(cp,*m2);
canSend(cp,m2*);

Thanks in advance.

HELP ME!

I used LPC 1768

used canopen_mastermode and canopen_slavemode, Master enter state=start Slave have show ID:0x0000 DLC:2 Data(0→1):0x01 0x00 Then Slave enter input=1 or input=5 or input=any number but it not show anything or not send anything (_sendPDOevent not go to status = state5; it can't send PDO)

I want PDO and SDO can send I have only one master node and one slave node please give a examples or teach me help me, thenks.

ps.My English is not good,so sorry.

Hi, I am trying to port the canfestival to LPC 2387.I having problem figuring out where the acceptance filtering configurations are done in the Canfestival driver?Please can anyone help me out. Thanks in Advance!

Sam, Or anyone else who might be able to help,

I'm wanting to control some motor controllers via an mbed using CANopen DS 301. So I am only interested in the master node part of CANopen Festival. However, when I rand objdictedit.py and went to create a new node... DS 301 was not an option. (only DS 401 - DS 419 and then DS 302). I wondering how I can implement my mbed as a master node without the CANopen Festival DS 301 profile? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi,

I test the slave node but I have the same issue about Heartbeat: I did not ... Is there a solution to this?

Sincerely, JB

I've tried to run the objdictedit.py program with the IDE pycharm. But it does not work. You can find the error message in the Picture. Has anyone been able to get the objdictedit.py program to run? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Same problem here if you have any solutions please let us know

Thank you

You need to use "classic" wxPython (in other words, wxPython 3). Get it at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/

First of all thank you for your answer.

However i could not solve my problems. There are several reasons and i will be more than happy if you help me out.

When i download .dmg version of 3.0.2.0 and try to run on my OSX i get disk image corrupted error every time i try.

When i encountered this problem i tried to use older packages however the issue is the same. I do not have any idea why this is happening and how i can install this package on OSX.

I tried to switch windows 10 and try to use the given .exe however i was not successful at this either if you have any solutions please guide me.

Thank you for all your help

Is there an EDS file available for use slave node ?

Hello,

is it possible to use this stack for STM32?

I would appreciate any answers.

Thank you and best regards,

I tried compiling on the STM32H745I Discovery, but MBED doesn't seem to be compatible, or at least it doesn't import.

Which MBED version and platform can compile?
