Description
AST-CAN485 Dev Board is a miniature Arduino in the compact form factor of the Pro Mini. In addition to all the usual functions that a mini Arduino has, it has a built-in CAN (Control Area Network) and RS485 ports, allowing you to quickly and easily connect to a wide range of industrial devices. It supports the Arduino IDE and Arduino libraries. There are libraries to support the CAN and RS485 ports, so you can get started easily. Thanks to the integrated CAN and RS485 transceivers, this development board allows for out-of-the-box interfacing to any network.
AST-CAN485 Dev Board is based on the Atmel AT90CAN128 processor. The processor runs at 16MHz, has 128kB of Flash, 4kB of SRAM, and features a hardware CAN controller. CAN485 breaks out commonly used communication ports and pin functions, including: I2C, SPI, UARTs, eight analog inputs, and six interrupt pins. In addition, AST-CAN485 is equipped with a built-in regulator, which allows an unregulated input voltage to be supplied to the VIN pin to achieve the allowable input voltage range of 7-16V. However, please note that 7-12V is recommended.
CAN and RS485 form the backbone of many communication protocols with applications in automation, industrial systems, building management, automotive systems, OBDII and many more. With all these features combined, you have a cost effective, handy board with a wide range of functions in the palm of your hand!
