yyrkoon 250 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 No I had not seen either one, but both designs seem rather overly complex. The first one you linked for example, in the diagram has an M4 connected board, *AND* that TIDA<whatever> CAN + ethernet board (connected via CAN + 120ohm resistor ). . . when all one really needs is one of the ~$.55 @1ku CAN transceivers, and probably a few additional components. The second link mentions the same TIDA*board, with a link to "buy now" but when clicking on it it just takes the user down to a list of components . . . SO I think while the information is probably still useful, the laid out projects are a bit ridiculous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yyrkoon 250 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 That wifi project, would probably cost twice as much as s beaglebone black + wifi dongle + CAN transceiver. Judging by the parts list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yyrkoon 250 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Oh . . . I've been using both MS OSes, and Linux since the early 90's . . . I know both fairly well. As far as connotation goes . . . there really is none. To be 100% blunt, I'm kind of indifferent about all this right now. If I wasn't then I'd be off chasing another project down a rabbit hole . . . which is not something I need right now heh. abecedarian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deker 1 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I think an Ethernet-CAN sign a Connected Launchpad would be useful and less expensive. :-) I know I'm a little late to this thread, but I've got a project to do just this. I was working on it a bit last year and it stalled for a number of reasons, but I'm firing it back up. I've got the hard part of handling CAN on the Launchpad done (with some impressive performance results), I just need to finish a CAN<->Ethernet daemon to deliver the traffic to a host. I would use socketcand, but it had no facility for configuring the CAN interfaces. I started on something previously, but it may be a bit too heavyweight and I'm about to revisit the design and knock something out that's relatively simple. If anybody would be interested in helping/following along, drop me a line and let me know. yyrkoon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would also be interested in reading about what you're doing and perhaps how. Our own CAN project is personally on the back burner, but it's still on my mind, a lot.
