CAN Communication

Baud-Rate

The CAN communication baud-rate is 1Mbps.

Non-Periodic Communication

Messages can be sent to initialize or stop CAN communication.

Periodic Communication

The Allegro Hand control software attempts to communicate with the real or simulated hand at a regular control interval. Every 3 milliseconds the joint torques are calculated and the joint angles are updated.

CAN Frames

Standard CAN Packet

The standard CAN packet used for communication contains 8 bytes.

typedef struct{ 
	unsigned char STD_EXT; 
	unsigned long msg_id;		//message identifier 
	unsigned char data_length;	// 
	char           data[8];		// data array 
} can_msg;

ID (Message Identifier)

The 4 byte integer CAN message is split into the command ID (26 bits), destination ID (3bits) and source ID (3 bits).
