MCP2515 CAN-Bus Communicatie met Raspberry Pi 5 en Raspberry Pi Pico
Notities
- De code die zich in deze repo bevindt, is bedoelt voor de Pico, en neit voor de Raspberry PI 5. De library “machine” is namelijk niet geschikt voor de Raspberry PI 5
📌 Benodigdheden
- Raspberry Pi 5 + MCP2515 CAN-module
- Raspberry Pi Pico + MCP2515 CAN-module
- 2 x 120 ohm weerstand
- Jumper wires
- Micro-USB-kabel voor de Raspberry Pi Pico
🛠️ Hardware aansluiten
CAN-bus bedrading
🔹 Zorg dat op beide MCP2515 modules een 120 ohm weerstand aanwezig is!
| MCP2515 (Raspberry Pi 5) | MCP2515 (Raspberry Pi Pico) |
|---|---|
| CAN_H (female jumper) | CAN_H (male jumper) |
| CAN_L (female jumper) | CAN_L (male jumper) |
🔌 SPI-aansluitingen MCP2515 → Raspberry Pi 5
| MCP2515 | Raspberry Pi 5 (GPIO) |
|---|---|
| VCC | 5V |
| GND | GND |
| CS | GPIO 8 (Pin 24, CE0) |
| SCK | GPIO 11 (Pin 23, SCLK) |
| SI (MOSI) | GPIO 10 (Pin 19, MOSI) |
| SO (MISO) | GPIO 9 (Pin 21, MISO) |
| INT | GPIO 25 (Pin 22, Optioneel) |
🔌 SPI-aansluitingen MCP2515 → Raspberry Pi Pico
| MCP2515 | Raspberry Pi Pico (GPIO) |
|---|---|
| VCC | 5V (Pin 40) |
| GND | GND |
| CS | GP17 (Pin 22) |
| SCK | GP18 (Pin 24) |
| SI (MOSI) | GP19 (Pin 25) |
| SO (MISO) | GP16 (Pin 21) |
| INT | GP20 (Optioneel) |
🖥️ Raspberry Pi 5 configureren
SPI inschakelen
sudo raspi-config
Herstart de Raspberry Pi 5
sudo reboot
MCP2515 configureren
Open het configuratiebestand
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
Voeg de volgende regelst toe (of wijzig ze als ze al bestaan)
dtparam=spi=on dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=8000000,interrupt=25
🔹 Opmerking: oscillator=8000000 is nodig omdat de MCP2515 een 8 MHz kristal gebruikt.
Sla op en herstart de Raspberry Pi 5 opnieuw
sudo reboot
🖧 CAN-interface activeren
Zet de CAN-interface aan met:
sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000
Controleer of can0 actief is
ip link show can0
🖥️ Raspberry Pi Pico instellen
Flash MicroPython op de Pico
- Download de MicroPython UF2: MicroPython voor Raspberry Pi Pico
- Houd BOOTSEL ingedrukt, sluit de Pico via USB aan en sleep het UF2-bestand naar de
"RPI-RP2"USB-schijf. - De Pico start automatisch opnieuw op. (Zo niet, verwijder en sluit hem opnieuw aan.)
- Als hij niet meer als USB-schijf verschijnt, is dat CORRECT!
Sluit Thonny aan op de Pico
- Open Thonny.
- Ga naar Interpreter > MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico).
- Druk op Verbinden.
🔍 Test de communicatie
Zorg eerst dat je candump correct hebt gedownload
sudo apt install can-utils
Start candump op de Raspberry Pi 5:
candump can0
Stuur een bericht naar de Pico vanaf de Raspberry Pi 5
cansend can0 123#11223344
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Probleem: De CAN-Bus zit in een error-modus (“bus-off”)
Controleer de MCP2515-status met:
dmesg | grep -i mcp
Oplossing: Reset de MCP2515 met de volgende commando’s
sudo dmesg -C
sudo rmmod mcp251x
sudo modprobe mcp251x
