MikroElektronika
All Mikroelektronika’s development systems feature a large number of peripheral
modules expanding microcontroller’s range of application and making the
process of program testing easier. In addition to these modules, it is also
possible to use numerous additional modules linked to the development system
through the I/O port connectors. Some of these additional modules can operate
as stand-alone devices without being connected to the microcontroller.
CAN additional board
The CAN additional board is used to connect a development system to devices that use CAN communication.
Key features:
- Supports 1Mb/s operation;
- Power supply in a range between 4.5 and 5.5V DC; and
- Low power consumption.

How to connect the board?
The CAN additional board is connected to a development system via a 2x5 connector CN1 on the additional board and a 2x5
connector on the development system. The DIP switch SW1 is used to determine which port pins on the development system will be
used for CAN communication. Depending on the development system in use, it is necessary to set the appropriate switches on the
DIP switch SW1 to the ON position, table 1.
