This PiCAN2 DUO board provides two independent CAN-Bus interfaces for the Raspberry Pi 2/3. The board utilizes the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with the MCP2551 CAN transceiver. Connections are made via a 4-way screw terminal. The board also comes with a 5v 1A SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) that powers the Raspberry Pi from a 6 VDC to 30 VDC power supply range to suit automobile and industrial applications..The board supports an easy-to-install, easy-to-manage SocketCAN driver. Programming can be accomplished in C or Python, and there are many programming samples plus source code.
