Hi,
I’m try to use the can port, but what ever I try, it crashes.
I’m use .net 4.3.
Please se below:
Using GHI’s example
Can = New GHI.IO.ControllerAreaNetwork(ControllerAreaNetwork.Channel.One, _
ControllerAreaNetwork.Speed.Kbps500)
Can.Enabled = True
'//here is what trigger the error, and no way to use the can with out this is set to enable.
Error:

Must be a bug related to G400 or Raptor.
I just tried the same code on a Fez Spider and it worked on first try!
the can bus send and receive just fine with 2 wire DW module.
@ eikeland - I was able to use both CAN channels without error on the G400. Can you create and post a complete and simple program that shows the error outside of your main project?
Sure,
Here we go:
The CanDW is connected to Port 11 and USB DP Power to port 8. (Nothing else is connected)
Running firmware 4.3.6 and bootloader 4.3.6.
Still the same error. here is the test code (the same code working just fine on the spider):

canDW.Initialize(GHI.IO.ControllerAreaNetwork.Speed.Kbps500, GHI.IO.ControllerAreaNetwork.Channel.One)
Dim msg As New ControllerAreaNetwork.Message()
msg.ArbitrationId = &H123
msg.Data(0) = 1
msg.Length = 1
msg.IsExtendedId = False
canDW.SendMessage(msg)
' Use Debug.Print to show messages in Visual Studio's "Output" window during debugging.
Debug.Print("Program Started")
End Sub

Debug.Print("Error on CAN: " & e.Error.ToString())
End Sub

Dim received As ControllerAreaNetwork.Message = sender.Can.ReadMessage()
Dim data As String = ""
For i As Integer = 0 To received.Length - 1
data += "0x" + received.Data(i).ToString("x2") + " "
Next
Debug.Print(" CAN Message ")
Debug.Print("-----------------")

Debug.Print(" Time: " + received.TimeStamp.ToString())

Debug.Print(" Data: " + data)
Debug.Print("")
End Sub
Private Sub canDW_MessagesSent(sender As CANDW, e As EventArgs) Handles canDW.MessagesSent

Here is the error log:

@ John -
Hi John, it did sudently working …
First I reinstalled the firmware again and then
I started from scratch demounted an unscrewed all gadgets from the board.
Plugged in power and can module connected to my "Can Test Network"
Voila! it worked.
One thing to remember is Channel one only works on Gadget Port 10 and Channel 2 only in Port 11 (Is this in the doc?, I must have missed it).
Well look at the positive side, If I pull this project trough, we will need 300 to 1000 custom units pr. year based on the G400 Module.
OK,
What I have found out so far.
The Can do not crash anymore, but I must use events from the CanControllerNetwork object and not events from the CanDW module.
Her is how I solved it (for now anyway):
I get my CanBus object from CanDW.Can object,
I’m use the events from Can object instead of the CanDW Module.
ALL inncoming and outgoing messages seams to work.
if I use the event “MessagesReceived” from CandDW module.
this works sometimes, but mostly It block everything as soon as I try to read the message, and no more debug info from any other modules.

Something to keep in mind: the MessagesReceived event can signal the receipt of more than one message. If you read one at a time in high traffic situations, messages might be lost. The ReadMessages overloads can be used to read every available message.
