setPins() for rx/tx and cs/irq?

[atestani]

I am using an MCP2515 on an ESP32 and writing code in PlatformIO/VSCode with the Arduino framework. I need to set both rx/tx and cs/irq from the defaults. I see in the API.md that there are two calls to setPins() for both pairs of pins. How does the library know which set of pins I am defining?

That depends on whether you're targetting ESP32 or AVR architecture.

I also didn't quite understand the function:

void MCP2515Class::setPins(int cs, int irq)
{
_csPin = cs;
_intPin = irq;
}

arduino-CAN/src/MCP2515.cpp

Line 396 in b514e6b

void MCP2515Class::setPins(int cs, int irq)

According to the code CAN.setPins(PA4, -1); there is an explicit installation of the pin of the CS and INT and nothing else, the platform has nothing to do with it.

Look at the top of the header file... the MCP2515 class can't be used on ESP32:

arduino-CAN/src/MCP2515.h

Line 4 in b514e6b

#ifndef ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32

And the SJA1000 can only be used on ESP32 hardware:

arduino-CAN/src/ESP32SJA1000.h

Line 4 in b514e6b

#ifdef ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32

In other words, platform has everything to do with it ;)
