I am simply trying to run the Example_2806xECanBack2Back example in the ControlSuite and I have a couple questions about the initial setup.
Do I need to add an additional 120Ohm resistor between the CANH and CANL pins in order to achieve a total resistance of 60Ohm?
Can I just attach probes to the CANH and CANL pins so that I can read the traffic on the CAN bus?
I added an additional 120Ohm resistor between the CANH and CANL pins and attached probes to the CANH and CANL pins in order to watch the CAN traffic on my scope. Within CCS I am watching the "PassCount", "ErrorCount", and "MessageReceivedCount" variables and I am able to verify that the "PassCount" and "MessageReceivedCount" variables are incrementing. However, I do not see any CAN traffic on the CAN bus. I only see that CANH and CANL are both at 2V.
