CANtankerous: common questions
What microcontroller does the CANtankerous use?
The CANtankerous is built around the LPC5514JBD64, from the NXP family.
How big is the CANtankerous PCB?
The CANtankerous measures 50 × 21.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the CANtankerous?
45 components, from 24 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the CANtankerous design files?
From the ehntoo/CANtankerous repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the CANtankerous design in my own project?
It is published under SHL-2.1, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the CANtankerous without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug NXP firmware against it before you order a PCB.
