To use the MCP2551 transceiver with a Teensy LC microcontroller, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Wiring
Connect the MCP2551 to your Teensy LC as follows:
VCC to 5V on Teensy LC.
GND to GND on Teensy LC.
TXD to SPI MOSI (pin 11 on Teensy LC).
RXD to SPI MISO (pin 12 on Teensy LC).
CS to a digital pin (e.g., pin 10) on Teensy LC.
INT (if used) connected accordingly.
Step 2: Install Libraries
In your Arduino IDE, install the "MCP_CAN_lib" by visiting "Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries", then search for and install the library.
Step 3: Initialize MCP2515
You'll require code similar to this in your setup function:
#include https://github.com/Longan-Labs/Arduino_CAN_BUS_MCP2515
#include Adafruit MCP2515](https://reference.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/adafruit-mcp2515/
#include https://github.com/autowp/arduino-mcp2515
MCP2515 mcp2515(10); // Assuming CS pin is connected to digital pin 10
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
SPI.begin();
mcp2515.reset();
Step 4: Setting Bitrate
To set the CAN bit rate to 500 kbps, you can use the `setBitrate` function. For example:
```cpp
mcp2515.setBitrate(CAN_500KBPS);
Step 5: Sending CAN Message
Here's an example of how you can send a CAN message using MCP2515 from your loop or main function:
void loop() {
// Prepare message
uint8_t data[8] = {0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08};
CAN_message_t msg;
msg.id = /* Set the ID of your message */;
msg.len = sizeof(data);
memcpy(msg.buf, data, sizeof(data));
// Send the prepared message using MCP2515
mcp2515.sendMessage(&msg);
delay(100); // Add a delay if necessary
}
In summary:
Connect the MCP2551 transceiver to your Teensy LC.
Install the "MCP_CAN_lib" library in Arduino IDE.
Initialize and configure the MCP2515
I'm not sure if this will work..
and you may know an easier way than using two IC's ?
