Let me give this a try and revert.

What devices are on the bus? I anything acknowledging the CAN being sent?
Sorry, forgot to add the CAN connection drawing. The Instrument cluster and OpenInverter board are on both ends of the bus, each with the 120ohm resistor.

Re: Sending Custom CAN messages from SDU openinverter board


Have you tried the other way around, i.e. sending from Arduino and receiving on the SDU side? Have you ever observed the CAN bus with something else than your Arduino setup, i.e. a proper USB-CAN interface and SavvyCAN?

Thanks for your note. I have deleted all CAN mapping and tried for just the sole inverter temp and get nothing. Both by a direct entry in the table, and as a command. You're right, that is the only gauge I'm running for temperature around the motor.

Re: Sending Custom CAN messages from SDU openinverter board


Measure you CAN network with everything off, it needs to read 60 ohm thus 2x120 ohm terminating resistors present.


Thanks,
I measured and I got 60ohms as stated above. I also confirmed that I have the 2x120 ohms.

For context, I am using an Arduino Nano with an MCP2515 running the script below ...

I really need help reading these CAN messages.
