CAN Bus Module (B) for Raspberry Pi Pico

This CAN module for the Raspberry Pi Pico enables reliable long-range communication with other devices without a host computer. CAN is used in endless devices, commonly in vehicles.

The board utilises a second-generation MCP2515 CAN controller and a 3.3V SN65HVD230DR CAN transceiver. Onboard jumpers allow terminal resistor selection for the onboard 120-ohm resistor.

Online resources are available which include some demo code to get you started.

Raspberry Pi Pico is not included.
