So I have been at least trying to connect to the hat from the Pi, the following is my configuration: enter image description here

I follow the manual set in this link: https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/2/29/RS485-CAN-HAT-user-manuakl-en.pdf

However I get the following output when checking if the connection is successful: enter image description here

This is my config.txt file: enter image description here

I use the oscillator with that number since the version of the hat I have uses that oscillation value. I use dtoverlay=spi0-hw-cs instead of the usual dtoverlay=spi0-bcm2835-overlay because my overlays folder is as shown:

enter image description here

I have checked the wiring multiple times, tried to reduce the spimaxfrequency, checked the interrupt pin in the config.txt file to be sure its connecting to the correct pin of the Pi, but all to no avail.

Can anyone please help? It's for an important uni project...

  • I will be brainstorming quick and dirty troubleshooting ideas. This forum is only for short Q&A. It would be nice if you can let me know your public GitHub/GitLab/ProjectBlog with more details such as: (version of HAT, 10HMz or 12MHz), You DSC (Digital Storage ／。。Ａｈ　ｓｏｒｒｙ　Ｉ　ｈａｖｅ　ａｎ　Ｅｎｇ　ｔｏ　Ｃｈｉ　ｃｌａｓｈ，　ｎｅｅｄ　ｔｏ　ｒｅｓｅｔ．　Ｎｅｖｅｒ　ｍｉｎｄ　ｉｆ　ｙｏｕ　ｓｅｅ　ｆｕｎｎｙ　ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒｓ．　Ｐｅｒｈａｐｓ　ｃｏｍｅ　ｂａｃｋ　ｔｈｉｓ　ａｆｔｅｒｎｏｏｎ
