CAN-1 Board

Overview

CAN-1 Board is a development tool for microcontrollers with integrated CAN module.

The board includes MCP2551 CAN transceiver used in connection with CAN network.

IDC10 Connector enables easy connection with peripheral modules.

Description

The CAN protocol is an ISO standard (ISO 11898) for serial communication. It was primarily developed for automotive applications. Today it is widely used in industrial automation as well as in automotive and mobile machine industry. The CAN protocol is also implemented in silicon. Due to it the error handling and fault confinement facilities of CAN can be combined with a high transmission speed.

Examples

Examples provided with this board will show you how to connect the MCP2551 CAN transceiver to an MCU easily. Each example contains a detailed description of the relevant program including comments. All these examples can be downloaded from this page as well.
