SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
This chapter explains how to set up the MCP2515 Development Kit for basic evaluation
operation.
The items discussed in this chapter are:
• Software Overview
• Starting the Program
• Selecting the LPT Port
• Hardware Overview
The software is an easy-to-use program with two templates that perform different
functions. Chapter 4 “The Software Templates” details the operation of the
templates and menu functions.
There are a couple of symbols that need explanation:
3.3.1
This template allows low-level control of the MCP2515 and would typically be used to
evaluate/test the MCP2515 at the bit level. All registers required for complete
configuration are available in this template.
- A ‘$’ in front of the numbers represent hexadecimal.
- An ‘x’ after the number indicates a CAN protocol extended message. To type
in an extended message, put the ‘x’ before the numbers to indicate that an
extended message is being entered.
