Product Description

This product has been discontinued!

For a replacement, see our product Raspberry Pi 3 System With Single CAN Bus Interface.

Our Raspberry Pi 3 System With CAN Bus Interface (PiCAN2) comes with a pre-installed Raspbian operating system.

The system is equipped with a PiCAN2 board, depending on the selected option, with or without SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply).

System Features

Raspberry Pi 3, Model B, 1 GB RAM.
Raspberry Pi 8GB Preloaded (NOOBS) SD Card - SanDisk Extreme 8GB microSDHC UHS-1 with speed up to 48 MB/sec.
PiCAN2 - CAN Bus Interface for Raspberry Pi.
The enclosure is made from High Impact Polystyrene HIPS UL94-HB material. Mounting flanges allow for wall mounting.
Option: 5VDC 1A SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) to power Raspberry Pi and accessories from screw terminal

Reverse polarity protection
High efficiency switch mode design
6 VDC to 20 VDC input range

Raspberry Pi 3

The Raspberry Pi 3 is the third generation Raspberry Pi. It replaced the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B in February 2016. Compared to the Raspberry Pi 2 it has:

A 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARMv8 CPU
802.11n Wireless LAN
Bluetooth 4.1
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

Like the Pi 2, it also has:

1GB RAM
4 USB ports
40 GPIO pins
Full HDMI port
Ethernet port
Combined 3.5mm audio jack and composite video
Camera interface (CSI)
Display interface (DSI)
Micro SD card slot (now push-pull rather than push-push)
VideoCore IV 3D graphics core

The included PiCAN2 board provides Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus capabilities for the Raspberry Pi. It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with MCP2551 CAN transceiver. Connection are made via DB9 or 3-way screw terminal.

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

The Switch mode power supply (SMPS) option allows connecting an input voltage range of 6 VDC to 30 VDC suitable for industrial and automotive applications and environments.

PiCAN2 Features

CAN v2.0 A/B at 1 Mb/s
High speed SPI Interface (10 MHz)
Standard and extended data and remote frames
CAN connection via standard 9-way sub-D connector or screw terminal
Compatible with OBDII cable
Solder bridge to set different configuration for DB9 connector
120Ω termination resistor
Serial LCD ready
LED indicator
Foot print for two mini push buttons
Four fixing holes, comply with Pi Hat standard
SocketCAN driver, appears as can0 to application
Interrupt RX on GPIO25

Important to know!

Per default, the PiCAN2 board comes with the termination resistor activated by means of a jumper. In order to remove the jumper, you will need to open the enclosure.
In case you plan to use the DB9 CAN connector, please be aware that you need to solder jumpers on the board to configure its operation as OBD-II or Standard CAN. For that purpose, you need to open the enclosure. Refer also to the PiCAN2 user manual as referenced below on this page.
Please be careful when you open the enclosure. Improper use of force may cause irreversible damage.

Enclosure

The enclosure is made from High Impact Polystyrene HIPS UL94-HB material. Mounting flanges allow for wall mounting.
