This section guides you through the physical installation of the RS485 CAN HAT onto your Raspberry Pi. For detailed software configuration and driver installation, please refer to the official online user manual at //bit.ly/3mC64mA.
4.1 ti ara Asopọ
- Align the 40PIN GPIO extension header of the RS485 CAN HAT with the GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi board.
- Gently press the HAT down onto the Raspberry Pi's GPIO header, ensuring all pins are correctly seated.
- Secure the HAT using the provided RPi screws pack (2pcs) through the mounting holes.

After physical installation, software configuration is required to enable the CAN and RS485 functions. The Waveshare RS485 CAN HAT comes with development resources and a manual, including examples in wiringPi/Python. Please refer to the comprehensive online user manual for detailed programming guides and example:
- Ilana Olumulo Ayelujara: //bit.ly/3mC64mA
This manual provides instructions for setting up the SPI interface for the CAN controller and UART for RS485 communication, along with code examples to get started.

6.1 Data Gbigbe oro
Ibeere: I cannot send or receive data.
Idahun:
- Ensure that the baud rates on both communicating devices are identical.
- The fixed frame ID in the routine is set to 0X123. Please configure the sending and receiving CAN ID of the other end of your CAN communication to be 0x123.
6.2 Ubuntu config.txt Configuration
Ibeere: How do I configure the config.txt file when Ubuntu is installed on the Raspberry Pi?
Idahun:
- For mainstream Ubuntu systems, the config.txt file is typically located in the
/boot/firmwarefolda. - Alternatively, you can use a card reader to access the Raspberry Pi's SD card on a computer (or another host that can recognize the SD card) and modify the config.txt file taara.
