Automotive CANtroller

Car electronics exposed

Published in issue 388, April 2009

Automotive CANtroller

This universal microcontroller board was designed, in the first instance, for use by students studying automotive technologies, but it can also be used for other applications, of course. The heart of this board is an Atmel AT90CAN32 with a fast RISC core.
In collaboration with the Timloto o.s. Foundation in the Netherlands, Elektor designed a special controller PCB, which will be used in schools in several countries for teaching students about automotive technologies. Particular attention was paid to issues such as universal design, cost, connection options, expandability and the availability of free development software for various platforms.
