      Can you all confirm whether there are any internal terminating resistors in the Flexcase hardware? In particular, the CM4 page on your site mentions that the CM4 module CAN interface is intended to emulate the PiCAN2 DUO adapter, which says it is “120 ohm ready” but requires a soldered on header and a jumper. My assumption is there are no terminating resistors on either MCU or CM4 side. Thx.

      By default, we ship the MCU CAN without resistors, and we ship the CM4 adapter CAN with resistors, but there is some variation in both depending on customer requests. To be sure, a multimeter will confirm if the 120ohm resistance is present across the CAN pins.

      If desired for your application, we can also post instructions on how to de-populate or re-populate the internal resistors yourself, keeping in mind that this modification will void the warranty. It is generally recommended to build termination into the wire harness instead of on the devices unless the network layout is simple (short distance, 2-3 devices).
