SHT-42 troubleshooting

CAN bus troubleshooting

CAN bus requires a 120 ohm resistor at each end of the bus. You want the bus to measure 60 ohms between the CAN H and CAN L terminals with all can boards connected and the system powered off. The UTOC and SHT boards have bult in resistors that can be enabled by installing the termination jumpers. With only 2 devices on the bus such as a UTOC and an SHT board both boards would need to have the jumpers installed. The Fly Gemini board with CAN hat has both terminating resistors permantenly wired in. Any additional CAN devices on a Gemini CAN bus will not need to have the 120 ohm resistor jumpered. If you have more than 2 CAN devices on the bus you will only want to have the devices at the start and far end of the bus to have its resistors jumpered in.

For the wires carrying the CAN H and CAN L signals it is recomended to twist the wires together with 1 twist every 24mm.

Bring the CAN bus up, run the following. Use the bitrate your device firmware is compiled for.
```
 sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000
```
Bring the CAN bus down, run the following.
```
 sudo ip link set can0 down type can
```

Run one of the following ocmmand to retrieve the UUID of devices on teh CAN bus.

 ~/klippy-env/bin/python ~/klipper/scripts/canbus_query.py can0

or use the CanBoot utility

 python3 ~/CanBoot/scripts/flash_can.py -q

CAN-utils is a collection of extremely useful debugging tools using the SocketCAN interface. It includes applications such as:
- candump – Dump can packets – display, filter and log to disk.
- canplayer – Replay CAN log files.
- cansend – Send a single frame.
- cangen – Generate random traffic.
- canbusload – display the current CAN bus utilization.
```
canbusload can0@500000 -c -t -b -r
```
CAN-utils source can be obtained from the GitHub repository: https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils or by running the following command.
```
 sudo apt-get install can-utils 
```
