Behind that, the 2 CAN driver boards I made for this road test, driven by a TI Hercules microcontroller.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The black box behind the breadboard is the Microchip CAN bus analyser. The scope in the back shows the CAN bus&amp;#39; Hi and Lo differential signals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the laptop I&amp;#39;m running the software for the Microchip analyser. It shows latest message (top window) and a rolling log of every message discovered (bottom window).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The current setup only sends messages that are intended for the Hercules. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next steps are to create a CAN mailbox for the Arduino, try to make it retrieve those messages, then make it send messages to the other 2 CAN points ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=6519&amp;AppID=14&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
