Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCAN330
ok....
this may seem like a dumb question....
We have Qty 2 TMS570LC4357 Launchpads with DCAN1 through DCAN 4 wired up to TCAN330 xceivers. (one xceiver per DCAN channel)....(ie.. two identical setups..launchpad with the xceivers).
The SILENT pin of the TCAN330 is pulled to ground, so we are in full xmit/receive mode
we have a typical 120ohm termination at each transciver..60ohm split with a 4700pF in the center to GND...with the ability to take the terminator in/out of buss.
the code we are running basically sends data on the bus , and the xceivers should send data back and forth.....
We hook up "SetupA", DCAN4 to SetupB DCAN4 (i.e. DCAN4 on one launchpad setup connected directly to the other launchpad set up DCAN4)
we run the code...evertyhing works
Same for DCAN3...DCAN3 to DCAN 3
Same for DCAN 2..DCAN2 to DCAN2
But
When we do this on DCAN1..(i.e.DCAN1 on one launchpad setup connected directly to the other launchpad set up DCAN1)
NOTHING.......see traffic on buss...but the setups never seem to acknowledge that there is a "receiver" on the buss.
THEN, if we attach a Kvaser Leaflite to the buss....it seems to WORK.....(dont have to do this for DCAN2-4)
What am I missing????
checked continuity through entire system, verified xceivers working, swapped launchpad cards,..
????
of note....we have been running all these tests at 500Kbps...up to 750Kbps.....we really want to run the buss (DCAN1 through DCAN4) at 1Mbps ..max speed
Any suggestions?...
would appreciate any insight...
As always...appreciate all your help!!!!
thank you
