Probably a silly question... but can both CAN & CAN2 be used in the same prog?

Thanks,
Phil

Hello Phil

If your using CAN2 then this has all the features of the original CAN component plus the extended ID support. Therefore you should only need the CAN2 component in your program.

If you are using multiple CAN controller chips with the SPI bus then it may be possible to drive one with the CAN and the other with the CAN2. If this is what your doing then let me know and I will have a look for any potential technical difficulties that may arise and will need to be addressed.

Thanks Benj. I am ok with just using CAN2... a little confusion on my part with getting Hi & Lo IDs using CAN2 but I got it now....
