I got 5 FluxGrip CAN but didn´t read the fine details (Cyphal…). Is there a short list of CAN messages that can (pun intended) setup, turn magnetization on and turn magnetization off without having to learn a new network stack (and embedded it into a STM32…)?
Thanks for any help

Hi!
Turning the magnet on/off should be relatively easy, as long as you have a device that supports connecting CAN devices to your computer through USB.
Instructions on Ubuntu: FluxGrip: Quickstart Guide
Instructions on Windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePTtF7so8Ec
(If you don’t have such a device, you can use CanFace1 and a CAN bus splitter)
If you’re planning to use an STM32 to control the magnet, this will require implementing Cyphal/CAN driver, so this will take a bit longer. If you want I can try to help with that too.
BTW are you using ROS?

Good one
About using ROS, is there any hardware interface or something like it?
Yes you just plug CF1 “Babel” into your computer and then plug the magnet into CF1. Then use SocketCAN on the computer to bring up a CAN network interface and you’re ready to roll.
