Hello Calvin,
It seems like you're experiencing intermittent delays and freezing with the CAN bus loopback using MathWorks Virtual Channel blocks.
Here are a few things you could consider:
1. Task Overloading: The simulation could be getting overloaded if it's running too many tasks or computations simultaneously. Try to simplify your model or use a faster computer for the simulation.
2. Virtual Channel Limitations: The Virtual Channels are meant for initial development and testing, and they might not perfectly emulate the real-time behaviour of a physical CAN bus. Some timing inconsistencies might be expected.
3. Sample Time: Check the sample time of your model. If it's too small, the model might be trying to process data faster than it can, leading to delays and freezing.
4. Buffer Size: If the buffer size of the CAN Receive block is too small, it might cause delays if the buffer gets full. Try increasing the buffer size.
5. Block Parameters: Review the parameters of the CAN blocks in your model. Make sure they're correctly set according to your requirements.
Remember, the behaviour on actual hardware could be different and you might not experience these issues once you deploy your model to the hardware.
Hope the above suggestions work.
