CAN SPI Click
Overview
The CAN SPI Click is an accessory board that provides a complete CAN solution for microcontrollers without an integrated CAN controller. It features the Microchip MCP2515 standalone CAN controller and the MCP2551 CAN transceiver, operating at a 5V supply voltage. The board interfaces with a host MCU through a standard SPI connection via the mikroBUS socket.
Why Choose This Part
It offloads the complex CAN protocol handling from the main processor to the dedicated MCP2515 IC, reducing software overhead. The hardware includes a DB9 connector for standard cabling and integrated 120-ohm termination jumpers, simplifying physical layer setup.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the board into any mikroBUS compatible development system like the MikroElektronika EasyPIC or Fusion for STM32. Use the MikroElektronika CAN SPI library provided in their compilers to initialize the MCP2515 via SPI. Ensure your system provides a stable 5V supply as required by the MCP2551 transceiver.
