Chipsee is a perfect solution for industrial application with rugged metal body and has a 7” touch screen interface that makes it more reliable to use the chipsee Embedded industrial board. It has other features such as Audio in and out and a speaker that is on board for hearing the audio, it has integrated on board communication devices such as Ethernet, Bluetooth and wifi so that it can be also used in the area of IoT.
At the core the chipsee has AM3354,1GHZ from texas instruments and a 512MB of Ram. This supports different operating systems as Android, Linux(TI DVSDK), Windows CE 6.0, Angstrom,Debian. You can get your capacitive touch hardware from here or the resistive touch version from here
We have demonstration using Chipsee to Chipsee industrial embedded computer to communicate with each other using CAN protocol.
A controller area network (CAN bus) is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer. It is a message-based protocol, designed originally for multiplex electrical wiring within automobiles, but is also used in many other contexts.
Connection.
To begin with the test on CAN protocol, we will wire up the two chipsee Embedded systems as below.
Once the connections are done then it should look something like the below picture.
Once after the connection is done, then you can open the terminal in both the chipsee modules, and login into the root. The password is also “root”.
Setting Up the CAN Receiver.
Take the chipsee in which you want to receive the data and type in the following commands.
Step 1: Stop all the CAN communications if any.
Step 2: Configure the CAN0.
Step 3: Start the CAN module
Step 4: Make it as a Receiver
Setting Up the CAN Transmitter.
Follow the same until the step 3 as in the receiver.
Now instead of step 4. Run the following command to send the data
So if you check the Receiver module terminal, you can see the data that is transmitted from the Transmitting module.
So the data transmission of 6 bytes of data is successful over the CAN0 channel.
If you copy the data and check in any HEX to string online tool as

You can get the actual string that is sent.
