CAN Bus with PIC...How to hook up to MCP2551?

May 08, 2004 0 Replies

The PIC 18F458 has one CANTX pin and one CANRX pin and hooks up to the respective pins on the MCP2551.



However, the larger PIC- the PIC18F6680 has CANTX1 and CANTX2, along with CANRX.



How do I hook up the 18F6680 to the MCP2551, in particular, the TX pins? do I short feed both pins to the one TX pin on the MCP2551, in effect shorting them out?



Thanks, Mike
