RS485-CAN-HAT
From SB-Components Wiki
RS485 CAN HAT
RS485 CAN HAT is a multi node communication module, to communicate with devices in a long-range, designed dedicatedly for Raspberry Pi with an operating voltage of 3.3 V, CAN controller MCP2515 via SPI interface, onboard transceiver SN65HVD230 that is controlled via UART. It is built to support automatic TX/RX control without programming. It performs half-duplex communication and it has an onboard transceiver SP3485.
Features
- Onboard TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor),lightning-proof & anti-electrostatic
- Standard Raspberry Pi 40 Pins GPIO Extension Headers

Installation
Python
Library Installation
Before running this board you have install required libraries for RS485 CAN HAT.
- For Python3, install these two libraries by running below command on the terminal.
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip3 install python-can
CAN TEST
Required Hardware
- Raspberry Pi x 2
- RS485 CAN HAT x 2
Setup
- Stack RS485 CAN HAT on GPIO header of both Raspberry Pi, and modify the boot/config.txt file.
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
- Add below line to the end of the file.
dtparam=spi=on dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=12000000,interrupt=25,spimaxfrequency=2000000
- Save this file on both boards and reboot both raspberry pi one by one.
sudo reboot
- After restart, run the below command to verify the installation by running the below command (Make sure RS485 CAN HAT is connected while booting).
dmesg | grep -i '\(can\|spi\)'
- Now connect H and L Terminal of the first HAT to H and L terminal of the second HAT.
