CAN modules

 

USB to CAN adapter
Compact USB to CAN adapter. The prototypes feature a 4 pin Clik-Mate connector. The production version will feature a single 4 pin PicoBlade (DF13) connector. This is the same type as found on the popular Pixhawk flight controllers.

  • CAN connector:
    prototypes: Clik-Mate
    production: PicoBlade (DF13)
  • size: 18 x 27.5 mm (plus USB connector)
  • micro controller: STM32F042C6U6
  • CAN bus termination: 120 Ohm
  • optional: SWD programming interface
    (4 pin 1.25mm header)
  • order code: 38159

 

 

CAN transceiver
Compact CAN transceiver module. It adds a CAN bus to systems wit a micro controller sic supports the CAN interface, but the system lacks a CAN transceiver. It converts CAN_TX and CAN_RX to CAN-H and CAN-L.
Examples are:

  • CAN2 on Pixhawk flight controller
  • STM32F4 Discovery board
  • Raspilot
  • and many more
  • CAN transceiver: TJA1051TK/3,118
  • size: 18 x 27.5 mm
  • order code: 38168

 

 

CAN to UART/I2C converter
Compact CAN interface converter. Various interfaces are supported: UART, S.BUS, I2C, PWM or GPIO. One application is to convert a standard ESC to CAN. Some ESCs feature a bidirectional I2C interface. This mode then converts I2C to CAN. This reliably creates a return channel from the ESC to the flight controller (for data such as actual rpm and more).

  • micro controller: STM32F042C6U6
  • CAN transceiver: TJA1051TK/3,118
  • size: 18 x 27.5 mm
  • order code: 38160

 

 

CAN to UART/I2C converter (CANaerospace)
Compact CAN interface converter for Aerospace Controller Area Networks (CAN). Various interfaces are supported: UART, S.BUS, I2C, PWM or GPIO.

  • micro controller: STM32F042C6U6
  • CAN controller: Holt HI-3110
  • configurable to support ARINC 825 and CANaerospace standards
  • CAN version 2.0B with programmable bit rate up to 1Mbit/s
  • ISO 11898-5 compliant
  • standard, extended and remote frames supported
  • short circuit protection of -58V to + 58V
    (CAN_H and CAN_L)
  • size: 21 x 34 mm
  • order code: 38199
  • first samples: end of March 2016

  • 9 axis sensor: MPU-9250
  • barometric air pressure sensor: MS5611
  • size: 18 x 27.5 mm
  • order code: 38161

 

 

CAN to ESP8266 adapter
Compact CAN to wireless module specifically designed for the ESP8266 tiny wireless modules (ESP-07).

  • micro controller: STM32F042C6U6
  • CAN transceiver: TJA1051TK/3,118
  • wireless module: ESP-07 (ESP8266 based)
  • size: 18 x 27.5 mm
  • order code: 38162

 

 

CAN to rotary sensor
Compact CAN to magnetic rotary encoder. Below te encoder ball bearing may be mounted with a diameter of 6mm. A Neodym magnet is inserted in the ball bearing. Applications: AOA (angle of attack) sensor, gimbals and more. The 3D image shows the 4 pin PicoBlade connectors, which will be used on all future CAN modules.

  • micro controller: STM32F042C6U6
  • CAN transceiver: TJA1051TK/3,118
  • rotational sensor: AS5045-ASST
  • output: analog voltage and CAN (digital)
  • resolution: 12 bit (<0.1°)
  • USB: with optional 4 pin header
  • SWD and analog: with optional 7 pin header
  • size: 22 x 30.5 mm
  • order code: 38173

 

 

CAN to GPS and compass
Compact CAN to GPS and 3-axis digital compass sensor. The MAX-M8 features concurrent reception of GPS/QZSS, GLONASS and BeiDou with Industry leading –167 dBm navigation sensitivity.

  • micro controller: STM32F042C6U6
  • CAN transceiver: TJA1051TK/3,118
