stm32f4 discovery can transmit problem

[Muhammad I. (Firma: uni rostock) (imran93)]

this is my program for can transmit .i just want to see through 
oscilloscope wether something is being sent or not .i am using stm32f407 
and attolic true studio for it.but i am unable to see any signal on my 
tx pin.kindly tell me where is my mistake

Do you have a CAN Transceiver connected?

Samplepoint around 50%?

I cannot see, that you go buson.

[Muhammad I. (Firma: uni rostock) (imran93)]

hello i was thinking stm32f4 has built in can transciever kindly guide 
me how can i work with it do i need to connect externally and do i have 
to write some code for it.i am new to can so i do not know much about 
it.

[Steffen R. (steffen_rose)]

Please check the difference between CAN controller and CAN transceiver.

You need both. The CAN controller in included and your source is for it. 
The CAN transceiver is a "level converter".

[Lars F. (flemmy)]

Maybe try to do the GPIO_PinAFConfig after your GPIO_Init. I slightly 
remember a case, where the implementation of GPIO_Init had reset the 
dedicated AF registers. But I am not sure, if it applies to the stm32f4. 
Just give it a try, I'd say.

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_0 | GPIO_Pin_1;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_UP;
GPIO_Init(GPIOD, &GPIO_InitStructure);

GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOD, GPIO_PinSource0, GPIO_AF_CAN1);
GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOD, GPIO_PinSource1, GPIO_AF_CAN1);

And on the CAN TX pin, you should be able to see some flickering, just 
not what you would expect on the actual CAN bus.
Well, at least until your CAN controller goes into Bus Off mode.

Without CAN Tranceiver you see this observation only, if you ensure, 
that the CAN RX Pin is in rezessive State (High). In other case the CAN 
controller do not switch in the buson state.

hello! thank you for your responses

i connected transciever and i see some wave also on oscilloscope. but 
the problem is i am seeing this wave on all the pins of transciever and 
i am also seeing the same wave at the transmit point of db9 module. am i 
doing something wrong?? the program which i have written is this okay or 
does it have some kind of mistake???  on my board db9 module is only 
connected with pin 0 and pin 1 thats why i am using in my code pin 0 and 
pin 1. and also kindly tell me in this case TX will be CAN_H and RX will 
be CAN_L??? as i am transmitting the data.

i will be waiting for your kind response

[Steffen R. (steffen_rose)]

CAN RX -> RXD
CAN TX -> TXD

CAN-H and CAN-L is your CAN bus
Please check the datasheet and manual of the transceiver. Typical there 
are many pictures. ;-)
Check, that you have a bus termination (resistor).

Without details nobody can say, if 'some wave' is a CAN message.
Do you use a CAN analyser? Send a message with it and you can see a 
correct CAN message wave.

Please check the hint of Lars.
