The DM163015 is a PICDEM CAN-LIN 3 Development Kit that has been developed for the evaluation or development of CAN network nodes, utilizing family of 64 and 80 pin CAN microcontrollers. This tool is ideal for beginning CAN designers, as well as those new to the PIC18F6585/6680/8585/8680 family of enhanced CAN devices. The Demonstration board provides three nodes (two CAN and one LIN bus) that can be configured in numerous ways through jumpers and component selection. The CAN nodes implement basic input and output functionality and can send and receive CAN bus messages. The Host Software, included with the kit, allows fine manipulation of the CAN devices down to the bit level, as well as high level control of the microcontroller. It also provides predefined templates for demonstration, evaluation and development uses. Finally, the Demonstration board provides new options for added communications and motor control functionality.
