If a key is pressed on the keypad, does it send out multiple CAN messages as long as the
button is pressed or just one message per press?
The message is transmitted when the key changes its status: e.g., until you keep pressed a key one message is
transmitted, when you release it another message is transmitted.
If no keys are pressed are there any messages being sent?
If the transmission is set on-event, no message is transmitted. If you set the periodic transmission or the heartbeat,
a periodic message is transmitted regardless a key is pressed or not.
What is the default J1939 speed setting? Is it 250 kbit/s or 500 kbit/s? What is the
industry standard?
The default baud rate value is 250kbit/s.
If I send a message to the keypad is there an acknowledgment reply?
In our firmware in J1939 no acknowledgment reply is transmitted.
