This function is used to initialize the baudrate of the CAN Bus system.

The available baudrates are listed as follws:

#define CAN_5KBPS    1
#define CAN_10KBPS   2

#define CAN_500KBPS  15
#define CAN_1000KBPS 16

##2. Set Receive Mask and Filter

There are 2 receive mask registers and 5 filter registers on the controller chip that guarantee you get data from the target device. They are useful especially in a large network consisting of numerous nodes.

We provide two functions for you to utilize these mask and filter registers. They are:

init_Mask(unsigned char num, unsigned char ext, unsigned char ulData);
init_Filt(unsigned char num, unsigned char ext, unsigned char ulData);

num represents which register to use. You can fill 0 or 1 for mask and 0 to 5 for filter.

ext represents the status of the frame. 0 means it's a mask or filter for a standard frame. 1 means it's for a extended frame.

ulData represents the content of the mask of filter.

INT8U MCP_CAN::checkReceive(void);

The function will return 1 if a frame arrives, and 0 if nothing arrives.

When some data arrive, you can use the following function to get the CAN ID of the "send" node.

INT32U MCP_CAN::getCanId(void);

CAN.sendMsgBuf(INT8U id, INT8U ext, INT8U len, data_buf);

This is a function to send data onto the bus. In which:

id represents where the data come from.

ext represents the status of the frame. '0' means standard frame. '1' means extended frame.

len represents the length of this frame.

data_buf is the content of this message.

For example, In the 'send' example, we have:

  
unsigned char stmp[8] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};

CAN.sendMsgBuf(0x00, 0, 8, stmp); //send out the message 'stmp' to the bus and tell other devices this is a standard frame from 0x00.

The following function is used to receive data on the 'receive' node:

CAN.readMsgBuf(unsigned char len, unsigned char buf);

In conditions that masks and filters have been set. This function can only get frames that meet the requirements of masks and filters.

len represents the data length.

buf is where you store the data.

When frame is received you may check whether it was remote request and whether it was an extended (29bit) frame.

CAN.isRemoteRequest();
CAN.isExtendedFrame();

return value is '0' for a negative response and '1' for a positive
