Overstock Savings: PICAN-FD & PICAN-DUO-SMPS Price Drop

Posted by Wilfried Voss on

Overstock Savings: PICAN-FD & PICAN-DUO-SMPS Price DropAs of today's date, we’ve temporarily reduced pricing on our PICAN-FD and PICAN-DUO-SMPS boards to help balance inventory. This is a great opportunity to get professional-grade Raspberry Pi CAN-Bus solutions at a lower cost—while supplies last.

Unlock powerful CAN‑Bus functionality for your Raspberry Pi projects with Copperhill’s PICAN‑FD and PICAN‑DUO‑SMPS boards!

The PICAN‑FD (US$49.95 - was US$69.95) brings next‑generation CAN FD support—leveraging the Microchip MCP2517FD controller and MCP2562FD transceiver for up to 8 Mbps data throughput—plus a battery‑backed real‑time clock (RTC) for reliable time‑stamping, all delivered via a swift SPI interface and backed by SocketCAN compatibility.

Meanwhile, the PICAN‑DUO‑SMPS (US$69.95 - was US$99.95) adds dual independent CAN 2.0B channels to your Raspberry Pi 4 using robust MCP2515 controllers, with each channel accessible via screw‑terminal, and an integrated 5 V/3 A switch‑mode power supply that efficiently powers both the board and your Pi from 7–24 V sources—ideal for rugged, streamlined installations.

Perfect for automotive diagnostics, industrial automation, data logging, or robotics, these boards give you high-speed CAN connectivity, system reliability, and clean integration—all in one smart package.

Don’t miss this chance to enhance your Raspberry Pi with professional-grade CAN-Bus capability—order your PICAN-FD or PICAN-DUO-SMPS today and take advantage of reduced pricing while inventory lasts. Whether you’re building automotive, industrial, or robotics applications, these boards deliver the speed, reliability, and power you need. Act now and secure yours before they’re gone!
