Canbus output "cycle" Frequency?

ADU
1

When building a CAN output, what does the “cycle” frequency do? I have plenty of CAN outputs for data that is working fine, but I’m havin issues with 1 set of outputs to control some exterior lights.

These Ights are controlled by a Canbus Arduino board. I’m sending a 1 or 0 (based on a status variable) however, when I set 100hz, my lighta cycle on/off, a lower hz cycles slower.

So I’m assuming the cycle is doing something odd.

I can change the code on the Arduino, but trying to understand how the “cycle” works so Imcan duplicate it on my test bench (another Arduino board) because I don’t have the car at my house.

Transmit mode “Cycle” means that the CANbus export frame will be sent at the frequency selected in the “Frequency” field.

Thank you, that’s kind of what I thought.

I’m trying to debug some Arduino code for a CAN controlled light controller. It functions differently with messages sent from the ECUMaster (actually this is sent from the PMU not ADU) than it does when sent from another Arduino CAN device.
