Hi,
I am working on a CAN device what will have a user confugurable address via DIP switches. I also want to use the Filter function in the general CAN component settings so that the node only processes the valid addresses. Is it possible to use a variable rather than a fixed HEX value as a filter? The idea is that the filter value will change with the settings of the DIP switches.

Thanks.

Hello

Im afraid the current CAN component has the masks and filters fixed after you have defined them in the properties window.

What you can do is to enable all incoming messages and then add masking or filtering yourself using your own software filters.

I do filtering inside the software. The problem is that the filtering process takes so long time that the next incomming message is missed. Any idea for how a work-around could be done?
