Re: Unexplained intermittent CAN / 2CAN Jaguar problems at GSR

You can use an interrupt on an analog trigger to wait until a brownout occurs.
(You can get the 3.3v off of the brake/coast pins. If you're using CAN, you can override that jumper anyways)
The brown out on the Jag is around 4.8 volts based on the TPS54040 datasheet. The Jag uses a 5 volt buck in series with a 3.3 v regulator. This is the rated lockout for that regulator, most likely it is above 5 volts. Also the CAN controller and RS232 convertor both operate on 5V volts not 3.3v.
