CAN Bus Programming With Arduino Uno, Mega 2560
About Controller Area Network (CAN) Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial network technology that was originally designed for the automotive industry, especially for European cars, but has also become a popular bus in industrial automation as well as other applications. The CAN bus is primarily used in embedded systems, and as its name implies, is a network technology that provides [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN) Prototyping With Teensy 3.1/3.2
The Teensy is a breadboard-friendly development board that comes with loads of features in a very small package. Each Teensy 3.1 or 3.2 comes pre-flashed with a boot-loader so it can be programmed using the on-board USB connection, i.e. there is no external programmer required. You can program for the Teensy in your favorite program editor using C or you can [...]
mbed LPC1768 Baseboards With CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) Port
This post is part of a series on CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping with the ARM Cortex M3 processor.I will take a risk by repeating myself over and over again by saying that the mbed LPC1768, as well as the Arduino Due, is utterly useless in its bare form. In order to accomplish any [...]
Arduino Due CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) Interfaces
This post is part of a series on CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping with the ARM Cortex M3 processor.As it turns out, the Arduino Due, just like a myriad of other embedded systems with CAN interfaces, was developed under the best intentions, but these intentions were focussed on providing a low-price ARM processor solution [...]
Arduino Due - Microcontroller Board Based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU
This post is part of a series on CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping with the ARM Cortex M3 processor. According to the official Arduino website: The Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU. It is the first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller. It has 54 digital input/output pins [...]
Recommended Literature Describing The ARM Cortex M3 Microcontroller

Introduction to CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping
This post is part of a series on CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping with the ARM Cortex M3 processor. The prototyping of Controller Area Network (CAN) interfaces used to be a tedious task, but the recent years have seen the emergence of low-cost, yet easy-to-use embedded development platforms such as the Arduino, BeagleBone, Raspberry Pi, and others. This [...]
App Note: Arduino Due With 2-Channel CAN Bus Prototyping Board
