Changing Device CAN ID
Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2014 9:08 pm
I am having troubles adding a 2nd device (CAN-EGT) to my MS3 system.
I have MS3Pro as device 0, MSShift as device 1 and want to add CAN-EGT as device 2. When I define CAN-EGT as device ID 2 via Project Properties\CAN Devices adding it to the list and assigning it as CAN ID 2 and restart TS, it is not recognized. I get the error message "Device 2 not found, going off line so others can work". Device 1 is working as pass thru.
My basic instinct is there should be dip switches on the board that allows one to select the CAN ID. So there are no dip switches, so obviously this is being done via some NVM memory. But how do I teach the controller that it's ID is 2? Seems like I would need to connect via the direct USB cable to the CAN-EGT controller, and somehow "burn" the value ID 2 into it. Is that possible?
I can successfully talk to the controller via the USB port (not pass-thru), when TS is looking for ID 1.
The CAN-EGT documentation says: "The CAN Device ID defaults to 1; you only need to change this if you already have another device with this ID on your network". I am questioning how this to be done.
Thanks,
Dave
