How to use MCP2515 for LPC1114FN28?

Hi everyone! I' m not good at English so this question is confusing. I am confronted with a difficult problem. Please help me.

My goal is construct system using CAN. And the system use only mbed LPC1114.

First, I try to use MCP2515 connected to LPC1768. Because mbed LPC1114 have not CAN pin like mbed LPC1768(ex: p29,p30) . It can work good. I use mcp2515.h library (https://developer.mbed.org/users/tecnosys/code/mcp2515/). This is very good library. It is useful function design.

Second, I try to MCP2515 connected to LPC1114. This is not work.

Error is bellow.

Error: Identifier "CANFormat" is undefined in "mcp2515/mcp2515.h", Line: 90, Col: 45

Error: Identifier "CANMessage" is undefined in "mcp2515/mcp2515.h", Line: 91, Col: 52

Error: Identifier "CANMessage" is undefined in "mcp2515/mcp2515.h", Line: 92, Col: 54

Error: Identifier "CANMessage" is undefined in "mcp2515/CAN3.h", Line: 22, Col: 19

Error: Identifier "CANMessage" is undefined in "mcp2515/CAN3.h", Line: 23, Col: 17

Error: Identifier "CANMessage" is undefined in "main.cpp", Line: 16, Col: 6

I think this error came from CANMessage class inCAN.h. LPC1114 is DIP so it has not FPGA like LPC1768.

I use two med platform. mbed LPC1768 (https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/mbed-LPC1768/),

mbed LPC1114 (https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/LPC1114FN28/),

and two IC. MCP2515, MCP2551.

and I change the library in can speed. because I use 20Mhz. I think to add the new header that define CANMessage. What I do this program.

My code is bellow

include the mbed library with this snippet

#include "mbed.h"
#include "CAN3.h"

SPI spi(dp2,dp1,dp6);// mosi, miso, sclk
CAN3 can(spi,dp10,dp11);
DigitalOut led2(LED2);
DigitalOut led1(LED1);
Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX);

int main() {
    char data[1] = {0};
    can.frequency(125000);
    CANMessage msg(2002,data,1);
    msg.data[0] = 253;
    while(1) {
        can.write(&msg);
        pc.printf("Send:%d\r\n",msg.data[0]);
        led1 = !led1;
        wait(0.5);
    }
}

Hi,

This is because the LPC1114FN28 doesn't support CAN in the device.h platform definition file. Therefore, CANFormat and CANMessage definitions are not included in the build.

Following header file example is a small hack to avoid this issue (i.e. to use CAN related helpers with Non-CAN platform).

can_suppor.h

#if (DEVICE_CAN) == 0

enum CANFormat {
    CANStandard = 0,
    CANExtended = 1,
    CANAny = 2
};
typedef enum CANFormat CANFormat;

enum CANType {
    CANData   = 0,
    CANRemote = 1
};
typedef enum CANType CANType;

struct CAN_Message {
    unsigned int   id;                 // 29 bit identifier
    unsigned char  data[8];            // Data field
    unsigned char  len;                // Length of data field in bytes
    CANFormat      format;             // 0 - STANDARD, 1- EXTENDED IDENTIFIER
    CANType        type;               // 0 - DATA FRAME, 1 - REMOTE FRAME
};
typedef struct CAN_Message CAN_Message;

class CANMessage : public CAN_Message {

public:
    /** Creates empty CAN message.
     */
    CANMessage() : CAN_Message() {
        len    = 8;
        type   = CANData;
        format = CANStandard;
        id     = 0;
        memset(data, 0, 8);
    }

    /** Creates CAN message with specific content.
     */
    CANMessage(int _id, const char *_data, char _len = 8, CANType _type = CANData, CANFormat _format = CANStandard) {
      len    = _len & 0xF;
      type   = _type;
      format = _format;
      id     = _id;
      memcpy(data, _data, _len);
    }

    /** Creates CAN remote message.
     */
    CANMessage(int _id, CANFormat _format = CANStandard) {
      len    = 0;
      type   = CANRemote;
      format = _format;
      id     = _id;
      memset(data, 0, 8);
    }
};

#endif

And then, you can include this can_support.h from the mcp2515.h file.

I hope this helps. Toyo

Thanks for your quick and polite answer. I tried to import your hack code. It works very well.

I want to study programming hard with mbed platform. Thank you Mr.Watari. Son Shaku.
