Greetings all. My first step into the CAN world occurred a few months ago.
Please, if you have any ideas regarding the following, don't hesitate to offer them up!
We are in the throes of designing a CAN based control system for automobile simulators. We are using MC9S12DP256 microcontroller from Motorola/Freescale - we have some development boards right now.
I am using a high speed TI transceiver (SN65HVD251) and set baud rate to 1Mb/s.
After much pain (especially in bit timing!), I am successfully transmitting messages between development boards and back to the PC (through IXXAT USBtoCAN device). The data I send does get transmitted and shows no errors. I can see the data displayed on the PC, and I can see the data on the bus with an oscilloscope.
The development boards don't receive the message properly, however. Each board sends the ACK signal, and no errors are generated. But the RXF flag never goes high - indicating the message is not passing the filtering (acceptance code/mask) setup.
Because the receive buffers never get populated with a message, no interrupt ever fires and all nodes happily ignore any and all messages I've tried.
I have tried the filters in many different configurations, including actually following the datasheet directions, and I am still not successful.
If you have any pointers, ideas, or condolences I'd love to hear them.
Also, I suppose it could be another issue, but I'm not convinced yet.
Thank you,
