This PiCAN2 DUO board provides two independent CAN-Bus interfaces for the Raspberry Pi 2/3. It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with MCP2551 CAN transceiver. Connections are made via a 4-way screw terminal. This board is also available with a 5v 1A SMPS that can power the Pi as well via the screw terminal.

 

There is an easy-to-install SocketCAN driver, and programming can be accomplished in C or Python.
