Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CAN ( PinName  rd,
PinName  td 
)

Creates an 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);
 CAN can1(p9, p10);
 CAN can2(p30, p29);

 char counter = 0;

 void send() {
     if(can1.write(CANMessage(1337, &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;
         }
         wait(0.2);
     }
 }

Member Function Documentation

void attach ( void(*)(void)  fptr )

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

Parameters:
fptrA pointer to a void function, or 0 to set as none
void attach ( T *  tptr,
void(T::*)(void)  mptr 
)

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

Parameters:
tptrpointer to the object to call the member function on
mptrpointer to the member function to be called

Definition at line 175 of file CAN.h.

int frequency ( int  hz )

Set the frequency of the CAN interface.

Parameters:
hzThe bus frequency in hertz
Returns:
1 if successful, 0 otherwise
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 (  )

Returns number of read errors to detect read overflow errors.

int read ( CANMessage msg )

Read a CANMessage from the bus.

Parameters:
msgA CANMessage to read to.
Returns:
0 if no message arrived, 1 if message arrived
void reset (  )

Reset CAN interface.

To use after error overflow.

unsigned char tderror (  )

Returns number of write errors to detect write overflow 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
