CANShield
About the CANShield PCB
CANShield is an open source PCB design by uvmaero, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 69.1 × 53.9 mm, with 14 components from 9 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the R-78E5.0-0.5, MCP2551-I-SN and MCP2515-IST. By type, the board carries 7 capacitors, 3 ICs, 2 resistors, 1 crystal and 1 connector.
From the project
UVM AERO boards.
This repo was originally @willemcvu 's personal AERO boards repo. From 2019-20 onward it will be used by all of AERO to store boards designed for the AERO cars.
Some are finished and have been produced, tested, etc. Others have not. Up to you to figure out if a particular board might be useful for your needs.
If you do produce a board, let me know! I'd love to know what you're using it for.
