Communicating with CAN

Compact USB-CAN adapter

Published in issue 382, October 2008

Communicating with CAN
Despite the fact that the CAN protocol is a serial protocol, it can’t just be connected to (the serial port of) a computer. The all-round USB-CAN adapter described here provides a compact and simple solution. With the help of the accompanying software you can follow all data communications taking place and carry out operations such as filtering and storage at the flick of a (mouse) switch.
