Docs mistake: CANHack_schm.pdf same as CANProbe_schm.pdf

Closed this issue · 10 comments

Hello,

Nice job!

I think there is a mistake in : https://github.com/kentindell/canhack/tree/master/docs/pdf

CANHack_schm.pdf seems to be the same as CANProbe_schm.pdf, no RaspberryPico on CANHack_schm.pdf, and the name of the schematic sheet is CANProbe with DB9.

Best regards

Nico

This is correct - it was a file upload snafu ("you are trapped in a maze of twisty file systems, all alike"). It's fixed in my branch, which also has new API docs and new firmware. It'll be pushed as soon as I finalize the patch against the MicroPython repo.

are you able to include the schematics kicad project files and not just the pdf

Doesn't CANHack.kicad_pcb work?

Yes but when I attempt to look at the sch i get this message
Schematic “/Users/j/Projects/canhack/pico/CANHack.sch” does not exist. Do you wish to create it?

also is your pico board for sale ? or do I need to buy this one here https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/05/26/canpico-open-source-board-adds-can-bus-to-raspberry-pi-pico/

You can buy the CANPico from our distributor SK Pang: https://www.skpang.co.uk/collections/can-bus-boards/products/canpico-board (it comes with a Pico soldered down)

Thank you just purchased, are the .sch files available? is the IDPS in the firmware of this project?

There's no IDPS in the CANPico firmware: the firmware contains a Python CAN API and a low-level protocol hacking API. The IDPS we are developing uses custom hardware to see low-level CAN bus events and to decode out-of-band data put into CAN frames to tag the physical source of the frame.

I see, is that something I can purchase then? the IDPS ?

A CANPico with custom hardware on it is under consideration :-)
