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
  • Half-duplex Communication
  • Long-Distance Communication via RS485/CAN functions

Specifications

  • Operating voltage: 3.3V
  • CAN transceiver: SN65HVD230
  • RS485 transceiver: SP3485

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 '\(can\|spi\)'

Code Test
  • Now connect H and L Terminal of the first HAT to H and L terminal of the second HAT.
  • Clone or download Github repository by running below command.
 git clone https://github.com/sbcshop/RS485-CAN-HAT.git 
  • Now enter cloned repository by running below command one by one.
 cd RS485-CAN-HAT
      cd CAN
