These can be used in automotive builds, while the design in the blog above is for experimenting and learning only.

There's some info of the history on the below PDF, and on wikipedia.

Developed because existing serial buses in the early 1980s were not able to

fulfill all the requirements to be used in passenger cars

Maybe the avionics standards were overkill for automotive use?

Thanks for your post. I had never even heard of the CAN buss before this. Learn something new everyday.

Interesting post.

I have no experience with the CAN bus.

I always wondered why the auto industry created their own bus when they could just as easily borrowed one of the many avionics bus standards.

It is not like they had any unique environmental requirements.

Anyway, I will be looking forward to seeing what you find out.
