The board(s) can also be connected to an existing CAN bus.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span>Using the PC interface, users can configure the MCP2515 registers, send CAN messages, and receive CAN messages. CAN traffic can be generated using a button on the board not connected to the PC.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span>There are also several headers (test points) so the MCP2515 pins can be monitored.</span></p> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li>Two identical boards and a CAN cable for creating a small CAN bus</li> <li>USB interface and PC software to interface to the CAN bus</li> <li>CAN bus PC software</li> <li>Button for changing the bus load on the Traffic Generator node</li> <li>Headers (test points) for monitoring the MCP2515 pins (CAN, SPI, and status/interrupt pins)</li> <li>PIC18F4550 PIC&reg; Microcontroller (MCU) with ICD2 interface/header for in-circuit programming.</li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul> <li>Demo Board</li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Application Note</h4> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/cn/AppNotes/cn_00713a.pdf" target="_blank">An introduction to the CAN protocol that discusses the basics and key features (pdf)</a> </div> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/cn/AppNotes/cn_00754.pdf" target="_blank">Understanding Microchip?s CAN Module Bit Timing (pdf)</a> </div> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/cn/AppNotes/cn_00228a.pdf" target="_blank">A CAN Physical Layer Discussion (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Quick Start Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50001894D.pdf" target="_blank">Microchip Development Tools (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">User Manual/Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/51757a.pdf" target="_blank">MCP2515 CAN Bus Monitor Demo Board (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Downloads</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Design Package</h4> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/BusMonitor_v2.0.0.22.zip" target="_blank">MCP2515DM-BM PC Software Rev 2.0 (zip)</a> </div> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/MCP2515DM-BM_Firmware.zip" target="_blank">MCP2515 CAN Bus Monitor Demo Board Firmware (zip)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Schematics/Layout Files</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> <a href="http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/00108R2_Gerbers.zip" target="_blank">MCP2515 CAN Bus Monitor Demo Board Gerbers (zip)</a> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: microchip, can bus, analog_demo_boards, mcp2515, interface_communications, can</div>
