nice and small but the reference is missing
about 3 months ago by Member #1374356 verified purchaser
I still try to get this board to read my CAN signals but it seams hard to find a proper reference for the CAN
library.
Great, small CAN board
about 3 months ago by Member #566755 verified purchaser
This small board has all I need to complete my “Hack my car” Project. In addition to the CAN Interface it also
has a large number of GPIOs and the I2C support I need for interfacing a bluetooh module and a DAB radio.
The CAN library is also good, as it supports a number of CAN bus speeds.
Bought for use in RS485 filtering of a signal
about 3 weeks ago by DemolishManta verified purchaser
I have a digital signal that is transmitted via RS485. I needed to transfer this signal over another RS485
channel, but that channel would transmit the RS485 signal then return to floating a short time after the signal
was transmitted. So I purchased 2 AST-CAN485 boards and a couple of RS485 transceiver breakout boards. I
programmed the AST-CAN485s to receive/send the digital signal via the additional transceivers. I set each
board identity via EEPROM. I then wrote a program that would send a byte from one board to another via
RS485 and USART at 1megabaud. When all was said and done I created a digital signal transport over RS485
that added 30 microseconds latency. I was shooting for 50 microseconds.
This board has done everything I asked of it without complaint. It just works and works well. If I ever need
another RS485 device or CAN device this will be a board I reach for to fill that need.
Thanks for making it available!
