Elecfreaks CAN-BUS Shield

CAN (Controller Area Network) or commonly known as CAN-BUS is a network standard designed for industrial especially automotive because of its long travel distance, medium communication speed, rejection of noise and high reliability. It is commonly found on modern machine tools and as an automotive diagnostic bus.

This CAN-BUS Shield adopts MCP2515 CAN Bus controller with SPI interface and MCP2551 CAN transceiver to give your Arduino CAN-BUS capability. With an OBD-II converter cable added on and the OBD-II library imported, you are ready to build an onboard diagnostic device or data logger for your car :)

Note: Comes as a shield without header pin soldered, so soldering is required.
