- Controller Area Network Solutions FAQ
- Controller Area Network (CAN) technology, as its name implied, is the network established among microcontrollers. Like computer network, it has the similar communication model to that defined by the ISO/OSI (International Standard Protocol/Open System Interconnection) 7-layer model. However, unlike computer network, it uses a much simplified model in which only 2 of the lowest stacks were defined, i.e. Data-Link Layer and Physical Layer (see...

- Controller Area Network
- Controller Area Network (CAN) is a broadcast, differential serial bus standard, originally developed in the 1980s by Robert Bosch GmbH, for connecting electronic control units (ECUs). CAN was specifically designed to be robust in electromagnetically noisy environments and can utilize a differential balanced line like RS-485. It can be even more robust against noise if twisted pair wire is used. Although initially created for automotive...

- CAN (Controller Area Network) FAQ
- Controller Area Network (CAN), as its name implies, is the network established among microcontrollers. It is a two-wire high-speed network system which was firstly established to overcome the problems (wire harness, communication) faced in automobiles. This is the FAQ.

- MicroCANopen
- MicroCANopen is a minimal CANopen implementation targeted at embedded networking applications. MicroCANopen does not aim at 100% CANopen conformance. The idea behind MicroCANopen is to simply adapt the minimal set of features that is required to cover standard communication methods and that allow making use of exiting CANopen tools like configurators and analyzers.

- Implementing CANopen in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
- The current communications system used for operating data collecting devices on the AUVs at MBARI are based on RS-232 and ethernet connection. While this system is functional, the network is incredibly complicated, as each data collecting device is directly connected to the main computer, which can potentially cause a myriad of cabling problems.
