I am using chip kit max32 with network shield and I have modified the CAN demo program to read vehicle CAN messages. I am providing power to the unit through OBD II power cable connected to J17 on network shield.

And also i have connected a transistor base (2n222n) to one of the digital pins through a resistor (this is drawing about 4mA from the pin).

The issue what I am having is digital pins starts fluctuating (going high, low) after a certain amount of time. I don't why it is doing this.

Any thoughts

Thanks

Maybe something in your code? Unless you post it we can't tell.

So i am realizing now this might be a heat related issue, so what i really want is to put chipkitmax32 and network shield in some sort of sleep mode and then wake up when there is CAN traffic any thoughts. Just for reference i have attached the loop part of the code ( i don't think i have an issue with the code, the digital pin fluctuation does not happen when the hardware is used in the lab set up).

so how do i put the chipkitmax32 and network shied in sleep mode

void loop() {

if(!_configured) {

pinMode(ACC_POWER_PIN, OUTPUT);

digitalWrite(ACC_POWER_PIN, LOW);
     
 initCan1(node1can1);
        
 canMod1.attachInterrupt(doCan1Interrupt);
 
 _configured=true;

}

// receive CAN message rxCAN1();

if(current_CAN_value==4&&_connected==false) {
_connected=true;

digitalWrite(ACC_POWER_PIN, HIGH);

delay(100);        

}

if(current_CAN_value==1&&_connected==true) {

_connected=false;

digitalWrite(ACC_POWER_PIN, LOW);

delay(100);

}

// do some other stuff not related to digital pin

}
