micropython-esp32-twai

This repository adds TWAI/CAN(USER_C_MODULES) support to MicroPython for the ESP32 family. Use user_module, that draft probe. But works.

Example

import esp
esp.osdebug(esp.LOG_INFO)
import uasyncio as asyncio
import CAN

dev = CAN(0, extframe=False, tx=4, rx=5, mode=CAN.NORMAL, baudrate=500000, auto_restart=False)

from scrivo import logging
log = logging.getLogger("CAN")
log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# - identifier of can packet (int)
# - extended packet (bool)
# - rtr packet (bool)
# - data frame (0..8 bytes)

async def run():
    i = 0
    while True:
        # log.debug("-")
        if dev.any():
            data = dev.recv()
            log.debug(f"id:{hex(data[0])}, ex:{data[1]}, rtr:{data[2]}, data:{data[3]}")
        await asyncio.sleep(0.01)

        # i += 1
        # if i == 10:
        #     log.debug("send ACK")
        #     dev.send([0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], 0x305)
        #     i = 0

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.create_task(run())

get bytes description from:

DIY

Read this section if you want to include the ESP32 TWAI/CAN support to MicroPython from scratch. To do that follow these steps:

• Note: The steps below now also work for MicroPython "esp32 with PSRAM", "1.23" , ESP-IDF v5.2.1

1. Clone the MicroPython repository:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/micropython/micropython.git
   

2. git clone https://github.com/vostraga/micropython-esp32-twai.git Copy the files and folders inside the root folder where micropython. Add to board - mpconfigboard.h #define MODULE_CAN_ENABLED (1)

3. Compile the firmware by typing following commands:

   cd micropython/ports/esp32
   make USER_C_MODULES=../../../../cmodules/micropython-esp32-twai/src/micropython.cmake BOARD=STRAGA_CORE_SPIRAM all
   
   [https://github.com/straga/micropython-esp32-twai](https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/16424)
   
   idf.py -D MICROPY_BOARD=STRAGA_CORE_SPIRAM -B build-STRAGA_CORE_SPIRAM -p /dev/tty.wchusbserial112330 flash
   
   

   Note that the folder micropython-camera-driver should be in the "cmodules" folder level as the micropython. Otherwise, you'll need to change the path (../../../../cmodules/micropython-esp32-twai/src) to the micropython.cmake file.
