#with ConnectionManager("--interface serial_tmcl --port COM6 --data-rate 115200").connect() as my_interface:
- To use PD42-1-1140 with CAN : PD42-1-1140 offers onboard serial connector please refer 3.3.1.3 CAN of TMCM-1140 hardware manual TMCM-1140 Hardware Manual (analog.com)
For CAN interface you need to replace the connection manager to (#cm = ConnectionManager("--interface pcan_tmcl") cm = ConnectionManager("--interface kvaser_tmcl").) depends on the CAN to USB device you are using please refer below table for list of CAN interfaces used with Trinamic modules.
4.To program the PD42-1-1140 TMCL please refer the TMCM-1140 TMCL Firmware Manual (analog.com) and for CANopen interface please refer TMCM-1140 CANopen Firmware Manual (analog.com) for other TMCM modules respected firmware manuals are required .
5.Please refer the pyTrinamic module examples for respected module here:PyTrinamic/examples/modules at master · analogdevicesinc/PyTrinamic · GitHub.
