CAN shield Arduino ASX00005

The Arduino ASX00005 CAN shield enables Arduino MKR boards to connect to CAN (Controller Area Network) buses for communication within vehicles and with other CAN devices. It integrates a CAN controller and transceiver to provide a compact solution for reliable CAN data exchange, suitable for automotive and industrial projects that require interfacing Arduino boards with sensors, motors and displays on a CAN network.

Advantages

The CAN shield offers robust CAN controller and transceiver hardware, compatibility with multiple Arduino MKR models, and a compact form factor that simplifies integration. It facilitates stable data transmission over the CAN bus and reduces the complexity of connecting Arduino MKR boards to automotive or industrial CAN systems.

Suitable for

• Vehicle network communication and diagnostics
• Prototyping automotive electronics (smart vehicles, autonomous systems)
• Connecting industrial sensors, actuators and displays via CAN
• Robotics and drone systems requiring CAN connectivity

Key specifications

• Manufacturer: Arduino
• Model / MPN: ASX00005
• EAN: 7630049200302
• Interface: CAN controller and CAN transceiver
• Form factor: Shield for Arduino MKR boards

How to use

Place the CAN shield onto a compatible Arduino MKR board and secure the headers. Connect the CAN bus wiring according to your vehicle or system specifications (CAN High and CAN Low) and provide appropriate power to the MKR board. Use the Arduino CAN libraries and example sketches to initialize the controller, set the bus speed and send or receive CAN frames. Verify termination resistance on the CAN bus and configure message filters as required by your application.

Recommendations

Use proper CAN termination and grounding when connecting to vehicle or industrial CAN networks. Ensure voltage compatibility and follow safety procedures when interfacing with automotive systems. Consult Arduino documentation and CAN library references for correct wiring, bus speed settings and code examples.
