Some months ago, I made my first project with CAN (CANopen, in fact) using a
LPC11C24. During the development, I used a 'Tiny-CAN I-XL'
(),
which wasn't expensive and seemed reliable to me. They provide a small tool
which can view the CAN traffic and send frames through a GUI. They also provide
a DLL to send and receive frames from within custom software There is a Windows
(the interface is FTDI based, so 64 bits is not a problem!) and a Linux version
(and there seems to be traces for a MacOS version within the archives, but I
wasn't able to get it working, but, as I was kind in a hurry and it
wasn't required, I didn't try too hard!)
One major drawback (which wasn't really one for me!) is that, if I remember
correctly, part of the documentation is in german! (not a problem for the manual
of the CAN-viewer, but could be annoying for the API!)
