This library provides a software CAN interface on a Raspberry Pi Pico when used in conjunction with the VLCB_Arduino library suite. The main VLCB-Arduino library can be found at VLCB
See Design documents for how this library is structured.
There are two versions of the example that, from the users perspective, are functionally idential. The first uses a single core in the Pico and is identified as VLCB_4in4out_Pico_s, where 's' stands for single core. The other core will be dormant in a low power state. The second version makes use of both cores in the processer and is identifed as VLCB_4in4out_Pico_d, where 'd' stands for dual core. This is organised such that the VLCB library runs in core 0 and the application runs in core 1.
The docs folder in this repository provides notes on how to use this library with the 4in4out examples. It also holds a circuit schematic suitable for the code as written.
Note that this library depends on a number of other libraries which must be downloaded and included in the sketch:
- VLCB - The core VLCB library
- ACAN2040 - CAN bus transport using the MCP2515 controller
- Streaming - C++ style output
Currently supports the Raspberry Pi Pico using Earle Philhowers Arduino IDE board support Pico Arduino IDE Full instructions on how to do this in the associated documentation
