I am trying to connect my VESC 6+ to a PiXtend (Raspberry Pi Extension - industrialish) via CAN bus, and struggle to recieve packages from the vesc.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find the technical data for CAN bus for the VESC 6+, so I am not sure wether they are supposed to be able to communicate.
Here is the technical data for PiXtend-V2-L CAN bus
Using the VESC tool I have full controll over my bldc motor with hall sensors, but I am not sure wether the signals are being broadcasted on the can bus.
I went to connection -> can forward -> assign vesc adress manually -> forward communication over CAN bus
This should in my understanding make the VESC 6+ send communication over the can bus, even tho it is not connected to another VESC (since the "Forward communication over CAN-bus icon is green).
No signals are sent on the bus at all.
Is there some kind of settings in VESC tool or connection errors I am having?
Also tried scouring the internet for information, like a usermanual about CAN bus on VESC, with no luck.
Any kind of help would be dearly appreciated :)
This is an edit on previous message. To broadcast can messages, the "can status message mode" needs to be set (1,2,3,4,5) on general settings
