Overview
CANSPI Board is a CAN development tool for microcontrollers with SPI interface.
The Board includes MCP2515 CAN controller and MCP2551 transceiver.
IDC10 connector enables easy connection with peripheral modules.
Description
MCP2515 is a stand-alone CAN controller. It is connected to microcontrollers via an industry standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It is capable of transmitting and receiving both standard and extended data and remote frames. The CAN controller also has two acceptance masks and six acceptance filters that are used to filter out unwanted messages, thus reducing the host MCUs overhead.
