STM32F103C8T6 (Blue Pill) CAN BUS Communication

[Javier Parra]

Hi,

I´m trying to communicate two blue pills between them using CAN bus, but when I try to run it, it doesn´t even finish the start up, because I tried to use a blink program selecting the CAN in the .ioc and not using it and doesn´t work.

Does anyone knows why does this happen?

Perhaps you should use a debugger to establish what's going on?

I​ will note the F103 can't support CAN and USB concurrently.

Hello @Javier Parra​ and welcome to the Community :)

As @Community member​ said , it may be related to the use of USB and CAN with STM32F103:

Hello,

Does "Blue Pill" board embed CAN transceiver (I think not) ? If not, did you add this external component?

If not, it will never work!

@SofLit,

I think your statement is not correct: if on both side there is no tranceiver it can work for sure.

See "Beginning STM32, by Warren Gay ISBN978-1-4842-3623-9" P317 Chapter 18 CAN-bus"

RX and TX are connected to the same bus with a 4.7K pull up resistor.

Best Regards,

Johi.

@Johi,

We do NOT support this kind of "exotic" connections and we don't guarantee the behavior during the communication .. So, in normal mode, CAN bus SHOULD be used with transceivers in a complete bus configuration.

Hello, thank you for your comment.

I'm not using the USB, I have the st-link v2 programmer but I don´t use the USB.

Hello,

Yes I´m using two transceivers with a 120 OHM resistance between CANH and CANL.

I have a configuration like in the image but with both BluePills and the transceiver model is a TJA1050.

And when I program the boards the main doesn´

t even start due to the can

Ok then..

What is the voltage level of "S" pin (Silent mode)?

In the TJA1050 datasheet it was stated the following:

"Control pin S allows two operating modes to be selected: high-speed mode or silent mode....

In the silent mode, the transmitter is disabled. All other IC functions continue to operate. The silent mode is selected by connecting pin S to VCC and can be used to prevent network communication from being blocked, due to a CAN controller which is out of control."

I´ve been trying to see what´s going on and its a HAL_Error.

When I init the can it enters here:And the HAL_GetTick () sets to -128 and there is the problem.

But i dont know why.
