Overview

CAN Bus Module For Raspberry Pi Pico, Enabling Long-Range Communication Through UART.

Features

  • Standard Raspberry Pi Pico header, supports Raspberry Pi Pico series.
  • Incorporates E810-TTL-CAN01 module, UART to CAN bus conversion.
  • Three conversion methods: transparent conversion, transparent conversion with identification, and protocol mode conversion.
  • Provide a complete supporting manual (example programs such as Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ and MicroPython).

Specifications

  • Operating voltage: 3.3V
  • CAN transceiver: E810-TTL-CAN01
  • Communication bus: UART
  • Baudrate: 300~921,600 bps
  • Dimension: 58 × 25mm

Python codes

Use in Windows

  • 1. Press and hold the BOOTSET button on the Pico board, connect the pico to the USB port of the computer through the Micro USB cable, and release the button after the computer recognizes a removable hard disk (RPI-RP2).
  • 2. Copy the rp2-pico-20210418-v1.15.uf2 file in the python directory to the recognized removable disk (RPI-RP2).
  • 3. Open Thonny IDE (Note: Use the latest version of Thonny, otherwise there is no Pico support package, the latest version under Windows is v3.3.3).
  • 4. Click Tools->Settings->Interpreter, select Pico and the corresponding port as shown in the figure.

This demo provides a simple program...

Expected result

You need to connect the Pico-CAN-A to another CAN adapter (3.3V, A to A, and B to B), the demo codes will test to send data SENDTESTABCD1234 and print data received.
