    @Adam-Slowik "Can you push your patch to my repository? " .... I don't know how

    On the CAN principle

    @Adam-Slowik "Based on this id, the filters are configured to remove all messages not intended for the current node. This way, if the gateway wants to send a message to the node with id = 51, only the node with that id receives that message." ... yes, that's how I see it.

    another way to say/explain it.

    "The philosophy of CAN is to constitute a messaging system.
    The messages (the letter) send on the CAN Bus (the post office), distributed by the CAN Bus (the letter carrier).

    Each (letter) have each an identifier (stamp of the post ☺ ) that ... identifies it.
    And put in the right mailbox (the MCP2515) according to the choice of filter/mask ( color, scent? ☺ ) of the letter."

    So there are two "stratum" of dialogue / work.

    • one on the Can Bus, and another on the Nodes.

    The idea is to relieve the Nodes of unnecessary work/effort with the risks that this brings. Less letter to open :)

    @Adam-Slowik "... my modules and arduinos are buried in a box in my attic..." ? Arduino 8bit and MySensors is over for you?
    ( if it's a personal / family reason don't say anything )

      I tested my sketch with clock and OLED to see :)

      bah No the time is not up :(

      I give this information for an overview, it can help for the continuation (but not to give you work :) )

      The listing of the messages of mySensors

      test with "void receiveTime" function (without RTC clock)

        @JeeLet said in CAN bus transport implementation:

        Arduino 8bit and MySensors is over for you?

        No it is not over. Right now I don't have enough time. Now I am able to work for let's say 1 hour per week. Probably I will become more active at the end of 2023 :D

        @JeeLet said in CAN bus transport implementation:

        bah No the time is not up

        Here You posted RS485 version:
        https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4809/real-time-clock-module-lcd-display-and-controller-time/8?_=1655208396048

        Could You post here CAN version?

          @Adam-Slowik "Could you post the CAN version here?"

          it's the same, except that the bus is not rs485 but CAN :)

          ......
          ........
          #define MY_NODE_ID 55          /*Node en ID static*/
          
            #define MY_CAN
            
            #include "SSD1306Ascii.h"
          ........
          .....
          

          but I'll go back to PaulStoffregen's Lib <TimeLib.h> to see if I can simplify the basic sketch of MySensors

            In previous example (with diodes) did You set CAN_CLOCK to MCP_16MHZ?

              no it stayed on 8Mhz ?

              I didn't modify anything (the other sketches work)

              But I just looked at the quartz and it's 16M!! (SW-65-16M)

              I am lost :(

              https://www.gotronic.fr/art-module-bus-can-sbc-can01-28405.htm

              but on the doc there is :
              The 8000000 stands that the MCP2515 operates with a clock of 8 MHz. This
              depends on the quartz used and may need to be adjusted.

              error
              on the official doc it's a 16Mhz like mine.

              • https://www.joy-it.net/en/products/SBC-CAN01
                OSCILLATOR 16 MHz Crystal Oscillator

              so 8Mhz or 16Mhz?
              and why does it work with the previous sketches?

                I think the dialogue is good

                      I found a bug in my code. Please re-download new version.

                      If something won't work please enable CAN debug by adding:
                      #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_CAN

                      add this to gateway and to node sketch

                          the values go up well on MyC
                          real decimal values :)

                          here is a screen shot

                          I have to find another type of probes, the DHT22 give me losses, or my sketch is to review

                          the values are not refreshed.
                          I look better :eyeglasses:

                          ReRe-edition
                          I made a mistake, as I play a little too much with MyController, I add and remove gateways from nodes and other salads.
                          and well in the end it makes no sense ;)

                          I cleaned up the Yaml files of MyC and it's better :)

                            what was the problem ???

                            Previous messages used 7 bytes long payload. Single CAN frame is able to transfer 8 bytes. So all messages was contained in single frame. Example with time, used 17 (!) bytes long payload. In order to transfer 17 bytes there is need to split data to 3 messages (8+8+1). Next in the other side of wire You have to concat it. This mechanism of splitting and concating had a bug. For details check last 3 commits (at the bottom)

                              I test what now???
                              the ACK ??

                              Oh yes, I have to check the disconnection of the nodes.
                              The Gateway gives me the impression that the information does not go back to MyC if a Node is off ???

                                I was at similar position some time ago:

                                @Adam-Slowik said in CAN bus transport implementation:

                                Any suggestion what to test next?

                                I have no idea what to test next. I do not use MySensors. I hope this will change in the future, but as of now I'm a newbie.

                                If You won't get any advice from more experienced users I would suggest to do some long running test to see if it's stable. If it's stable try to use it in some real use cases.

                                If You find any bugs in transmission layer post logs here. I will do My best to support CAN, because I will need it in a future.

                                  " I would suggest doing a long term test to see if it is stable." yes I will stress it to see the weakness

                                  ".. If it is stable, try to use it in real use cases." yes that's the point

                                  One last question

                                  I'm going from 8Mhz to 16Mhz (in development/MyConfig.h on line 306)

                                  question: can you explain how I can bring up in the sketch the parameters that are related to the MCP_CAN_lib library

                                  it should not be complicated for me :) it is only text to insert ???

                                  an example with the #define CAN_CLOCK MCP_8MHZ

                                  Thanks Adam Slowik

                                    In My opinion You should not override MyConfig.h. If You want to go for 16MHz You should put:

                                    #define CAN_CLOCK MCP_16MHZ
                                    

                                    in Your sketch. Preferably somewhere around line:

                                    #define MY_CAN

                                    If it's a parameter that is listed in MyConfig.h simply define it like 'CAN_CLOCK'. If parameter is not listed in MyConfig please let me know exactly what parameter You would like to modify, then I will try to figure it out.

                                      I just did the test, switch to 16Mhz in the file MyConfig.h

                                      it works well, I have no error

                                      #define CAN_CLOCK MCP_16MHZ
                                      

                                      I didn't think it was possible, is it incompatible?
                                      overwritten the values of the file MyConfig.h

                                      thank you for the information

                                        I'm not sure if We understood each other. This line #define CAN_CLOCK MCP_16MHZ should be in Your sketch. You should not modify MyConfig.h.
                                        Libraries (in general not only MySensors) should not be modified. MyConfig.h is part of library.

                                        Let's take a look at this code from MyConfig.h

                                        #ifndef CAN_CLOCK
                                        #define CAN_CLOCK MCP_8MHZ
                                        #endif. 
                                        

                                        This is if statement. If user didn't defined CAN_CLOCK define it as CAN_CLOCK MCP_8MHZ
                                        If user defined (in sketch) CAN_CLOCK then do nothing.

                                        So You can treat MyConfig.h as a set of defaults which can be overridden from sketch.

                                        I have put all relevant (in My opinion) properties from MCP_CAN_lib into MyConfig.h, so You can override them. If I have missed some relevant property please let Me know.

                                          Thank you for this clarification.
                                          (yes translator and my neuron it gives crooked dialog)

                                          Thanks

                                          return of the last 24 hours .
                                          CAN bus no error, good dialogue, no hole in the measurements and commands.

                                          the hardware base on the bus is :
                                          gateway + node 55 + node 56 .

                                          I will add another node 57.
                                          I think to go until 6 nodes
