Hy there,
I'm currently working on a project where I want to send the data from the imu on the Arduino 101 over CAN Bus to a Master. The CAN Bus Shield that I'm using is the following: https://www.seeedstudio.com/CANBUS-Shield-p-2256.html?gclid=CMXHs9T6tNMCFUWfGwod22sBXQ
Now the issues:
-
It works in generally, but (and now the weird thing) just when I am using the USB port as supply voltage and NOT when I am using the power jack as a power source.
-
I figured out that the voltage regulator on the 101 outputs 5.3V when using the power jack source. I looked up the specs from the CAN Chips (MCP2515 and MCP2551) and saw that their working for 4.5<VDD<5.5V so shouldn't be a problem et all.
But when I am powering the board with 5V directly(so by applying 5V to the 5V pin of the 101) it works.
Did somebody have a similar problem? (Maybe also in combination with a different Shield)
Does somebody have a clue?
Thanks in advance!
