Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CAN ( PinName  rd,
PinName  td 
)

Creates a CAN interface connected to specific pins.

Parameters
rdread from transmitter
tdtransmit to transmitter

Example:

#include "mbed.h"
Ticker ticker;
DigitalOut led1(LED1);
DigitalOut led2(LED2);
//The constructor takes in RX, and TX pin respectively.
//These pins, for this example, are defined in mbed_app.json
CAN can1(MBED_CONF_APP_CAN1_RD, MBED_CONF_APP_CAN1_TD);
CAN can2(MBED_CONF_APP_CAN2_RD, MBED_CONF_APP_CAN2_TD);
unsigned char counter = 0;
void send() {
if(can1.write(CANMessage(1337U, &counter, 1))) {
printf("Message sent: %d\n", counter);
counter++;
}
led1 = !led1;
}
int main() {
ticker.attach(&send, 1);
CANMessage msg;
while(1) {
if(can2.read(msg)) {
printf("Message received: %d\n\n", msg.data[0]);
led2 = !led2;
}
ThisThread::sleep_for(200);
}
}
CAN ( PinName  rd,
PinName  td,
int  hz 
)

Initialize CAN interface and set the frequency.

Parameters
rdthe read pin
tdthe transmit pin
hzthe bus frequency in hertz
CAN ( const can_pinmap_t pinmap)

Initialize CAN interface.

Parameters
pinmapreference to structure which holds static pinmap
tdthe transmit pin
hzthe bus frequency in hertz
CAN ( const can_pinmap_t pinmap,
int  hz 
)

Initialize CAN interface and set the frequency.

Parameters
pinmapreference to structure which holds static pinmap
tdthe transmit pin
hzthe bus frequency in hertz

Member Function Documentation

void attach ( Callback< void()>  func,
IrqType  type = RxIrq 
)

Attach a function to call whenever a CAN frame received interrupt is generated.

This function locks the deep sleep while a callback is attached

Parameters
funcA pointer to a void function, or 0 to set as none
typeWhich CAN interrupt to attach the member function to (CAN::RxIrq for message received, CAN::TxIrq for transmitted or aborted, CAN::EwIrq for error warning, CAN::DoIrq for data overrun, CAN::WuIrq for wake-up, CAN::EpIrq for error passive, CAN::AlIrq for arbitration lost, CAN::BeIrq for bus error)
int filter ( unsigned int  id,
unsigned int  mask,
CANFormat  format = CANAny,
int  handle = 0 
)

Filter out incoming messages.

Parameters
idthe id to filter on
maskthe mask applied to the id
formatformat to filter on (Default CANAny)
handlemessage filter handle (Optional)
Returns
0 if filter change failed or unsupported, new filter handle if successful
int frequency ( int  hz)

Set the frequency of the CAN interface.

Parameters
hzThe bus frequency in hertz
Returns
1 if successful, 0 otherwise
int mode ( Mode  mode)

Change CAN operation to the specified mode.

Parameters
modeThe new operation mode (CAN::Normal, CAN::Silent, CAN::LocalTest, CAN::GlobalTest, CAN::SilentTest)
Returns
0 if mode change failed or unsupported, 1 if mode change was successful
void monitor ( bool  silent)

Puts or removes the CAN interface into silent monitoring mode.

Parameters
silentboolean indicating whether to go into silent mode or not
unsigned char rderror ( )

Detects read errors - Used to detect read overflow errors.

Returns
number of read errors
int read ( CANMessage msg,
int  handle = 0 
)

Read a CANMessage from the bus.

Parameters
msgA CANMessage to read to.
handlemessage filter handle (0 for any message)
Returns
0 if no message arrived, 1 if message arrived
void reset ( )

Reset CAN interface.

To use after error overflow.

unsigned char tderror ( )

Detects write errors - Used to detect write overflow errors.

Returns
number of write errors
int write ( CANMessage  msg)

Write a CANMessage to the bus.

Parameters
msgThe CANMessage to write.
Returns
0 if write failed, 1 if write was successful
