1. ആമുഖം
The Waveshare RS485 CAN HAT is designed to enable your Raspberry Pi to communicate with other devices over long distances using RS485 and CAN functions. This HAT is compatible with various Raspberry Pi models, including the 5, 4B, 3B+, 3B, 2B, B+, Zero, Zero W, Zero WH, and Zero 2 W.
2. സവിശേഷതകൾ
- Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supporting Raspberry Pi series boards.
- CAN function: Onboard CAN controller MCP2515 via SPI interface, with onboard transceiver SIT65HVD230DR.
- RS485 function: Controlled via UART, supporting half-duplex communication and automatic TX/RX control without programming, with onboard transceiver SP3485.
- Onboard 120Ω terminal resistor for RS485 and CAN interfaces, enabled via DIP switch.
- ഓൺബോർഡ് ടിവിഎസ് (ക്ഷണികമായ വോളിയംtage Suppressor) to effectively suppress surge voltagഇ, ക്ഷണികമായ സ്പൈക്ക് വോള്യംtage in the circuit for RS485 transceiving, providing lightning-proof and anti-electrostatic protection.
- Reserved control header, allowing compatibility with other control boards.

6. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
6.1 ഡാറ്റാ ട്രാൻസ്മിഷൻ പ്രശ്നങ്ങൾ
ചോദ്യം: I cannot send or receive data.
ഉത്തരം:
- Ensure that the baud rates on both communicating devices are identical.
- The fixed frame ID in the routine is set to 0X123. Please configure the sending and receiving CAN ID of the other end of your CAN communication to be 0x123.
6.2 Ubuntu config.txt Configuration
ചോദ്യം: How do I configure the config.txt file when Ubuntu is installed on the Raspberry Pi?
ഉത്തരം:
- For mainstream Ubuntu systems, the config.txt file is typically located in the
/boot/firmwareഫോൾഡർ. - Alternatively, you can use a card reader to access the Raspberry Pi's SD card on a computer (or another host that can recognize the SD card) and modify the config.txt file നേരിട്ട്.
