Fez Panda: CAN BUS

NETMF & Gadgeteer

Hi,

My name is Igor, and this is my first post here. :wink:
I was trying to find some information about CAN BUS in the forum before write, but now I´m quite confused.

Is supported CAN BUS by the firmware? I´ve seen a CAN Class (http://www.ghielectronics.com/downloads/EmbeddedMaster/LibraryDocumentation/Index.html) but I´ve read here that CAN BUS is not supported yet… :frowning:

Thank you very much!

Regards,

Igor R.

Thank you for your answer!!

The problem was when I´ve searched in the forum …
I.E :
http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/2/391/
http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/2/961/

But I´m very happy knowing that it´s fully supported!!!

:wink:

Gus, Do you have any documents/code snippets related to CAN communication for Panda. If yes, please share.

Thanks in advance.

I used the above mentioned link to start with CAN. I was using the code to send one message.
/* Code Begin

        // Send one message
        int numberOfMessagesPosted = can.PostMessages(msgList, 0, 1);

Code End*/

I do not think methods GHIElectronics.NETMF.Hardware.can. PostMessages() and GHIElectronics.NETMF.Hardware.can.GetMessages() have been defined yet. It seems they just have been declared. Am I missing something here?

You need to add the proper needed assemblies, like GHIelectronics.NETMF.Hardware.DLL
