PiCAN FD - CAN Bus FD Duo Board with Real Time Clock & SMPS for Raspberry Pi

Product Description

Raspberry Pi Not Included!

This PiCAN FD Duo board provides two-channel CAN-Bus FD capability for the Raspberry Pi. It uses the Microchip MCP2517FD CAN controller with MCP2562FD CAN transceiver. Connection are made via 4-way screw terminal. A real-time clock with battery back up (battery not included) is also on the board.

This board also comes with a 5 VDC 1A SMPS that powers the Raspberry Pi as well via the screw terminal. The Switch mode power supply (SMPS) allows connecting an input voltage range of 6 VDC to 20 VDC suitable for industrial and automotive applications and environments.

The advanced CAN FD bitrate extends the length of the data section to up to 64 bytes per frame and a data rate of up to 8 Mbps.

CAN Bus Screw Terminals

The CAN Bus connection is accomplished via the 4-way screw terminals:

There are two 120 Ohm termination resistors fitted to the board. To use the terminator solder a 2-way header pin to JP1 and JP2, then insert a jumper.

Furthermore, there is a red LED fitted to each channel; they are connected to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO04 and GPIO26.
