CAN Interface addon for Glasgow
This repository provides the hardware and software components of a CAN Interface Add-On for the Glasgow Digital Interface Explorer.
- Sits alongside a Glasgow board - 2x CAN interfaces, available on a single port - Standard DE-9 connectors - Default pinout is suitable for use with existing CAN and OBD-II adapter cables (on CAN1 and CAN2 repsectively) - Can be easily rewired by cutting jumpers - Spring-loaded terminal blocks for ease-of-use - Indicator LEDs for Tx and Rx - Software configurable 120Ω termination, with state LED - ESD protection - CAN FD support in hardware (software to follow)
