I am having trouble communicating with the professional radio using TI SN65HVD230.
How did you end up hooking up the TJA1054T? what microcontroller did you use? What wires are required?
I am using an ESP32, and I am going to try out a TJA1051 before I give up.
EDIT: After much fuss, with many can controllers, I, too decided to rip a TJA1054T out of an old e90 radio. Soldered it to a smt to pin adapter, and wired it up. I found that there is no need to wire in the resistors and capacitors in the application diagram in order to get the chip to send and receive messages. All that was necessary was power (BAT + VCC 5V), ground, CANTX, CANRX, CANHI, CANLO. I'm sure the other components are important for the "fault tolerant" function of the chip, but if you're just trying to talk to a radio, this works!
Also, I used the CAN library from here.
