micropython-mcp2515
Micropython MCP2515 driver, porting from Arduino MCP2515 CAN interface library
Getting Started
This MCP2515 driver could be used for any MCU or platform supported by Micropython, such as Pyboard, ESP32, ESP8286, etc.
"""
Following SPI drivers are supported, please adjust by your hardware
from .src import SPIESP8286 as SPI
from .src import SPIESP32 as SPI
The CAN driver can be initialized with default baudrate 10MHz
CAN(SPI(cs=YOUR_SPI_CS_PIN)) or
CAN(SPI(cs=YOUR_SPI_CS_PIN, baudrate=YOUR_DESIRED_BAUDRATE))
And here is an example to set filter for extended frame with ID 0x12345678
can.setFilter(RXF.RXF0, True, 0x12345678 | CAN_EFF_FLAG)
can.setFilterMask(MASK.MASK0, True, 0x1FFFFFFF | CAN_EFF_FLAG)
can.setFilterMask(MASK.MASK1, True, 0x1FFFFFFF | CAN_EFF_FLAG)

Limitation
- Since Micropython is not fast enough, MCP2515 might send duplicated messages when CAN speed is too fast or SPI speed is too low. This is because previous message will still be transmitted repeatedly when MCP2515's SPI CS is not disabled timely.
