About the Cybergear canbus PCB
Cybergear canbus is an open source PCB design by cybergear-robotics, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 55 × 55 mm, with 16 components from 10 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 8 connectors, 6 switches and 2 resistors.
It belongs with the usb & debug tools designs in this gallery.
From the project
Star-Topology Connector Board for CAN-Bus with Debugging Port
This is a small extension board located on the CyberBot. It distributes the CAN-bus to all 6 cybergears and provides a debug port. Each cybergear CAN-bus sink can be switched between CAN-bus or debug port. The can-bus is designed as star topology, which works in small setups.
The switches are missing in the production files and you need to solder these on your own. The required switches are MSS22D18 Mini DIP Slide Switch 2x03.
