I've now resoldered another plug that doesn't have that short between CanL and VG. I matched the pinout from the old plug-board to the new one, so there should be no issues. If I connect it with the car I see the LED lighting up. If I ask to test the Interface it finds it, sometimes it tells me it is not connected to the car, or it wants to update the firmware version. It can not see the current firmware version ("Version Unknown") and from my first screenshot the most recent version should be on it (1.96). If I want to flash the firmware it hangs at 0.81%. The first 4-5 times it seemed the flash was successful, but it still could not see the firmwareversion. VCIConfig just shows a empty list..
I even resoldered the original MCP 2515, but it didn't change a thing. That was expectable because I guess the firmware runs in the ATMEL and not in the CAN-Tranceiver.
Do you have another idea or is it now finally a nice brick?
It would be great if you would take a bit of time again, even if it is only to tell me its garbage.
Sincerely,
Julian
