Good Morning everyone, lets brainstorm.
Against my will, i might be designing star topology CANBUS networks.
So i need to figure out how to set in firmware the EOL resistor value.
My ideas:
- Rele activated EOLs, expensive and bulky.
- Programmable resistor IC (like AD5246), has anyone tried one of these with > 125Kb/s signals? i used them for audio long ago and they work.
- To use fault-tolerant canbus and place EOLs of 100ohms, but i dont like the term "fault tolerant", it means my system should tolerate faults?
we dont need to firmware by ourselves, lets talk
