PICDEM™ CAN-LIN 1, 2 and 3 Demonstration Boards
Summary
Microchip offers three similar PICDEM CAN-LIN demonstration
boards to support different PIC®microcontroller devices. All
demonstrate the main features of the devices, especially those
features of the integrated CAN module. In addition to the CAN
network, the board also employs a LIN sub-network using
Microchip's PIC16C43X and PIC18F1320 device families.
Each PICDEM CAN-LIN demonstration board includes both
firmware and PC software for simulating a CAN network.
The firmware comes pre-programmed on the sample device. The
PC software and documentation are furnished on a CD ROM.
