You are right, but as CAN is a complete new subject for me I preferred a
more familiar one.
Just downloaded some info about CAN and I became very interested.
I will buy those Elektor issues.
Would you recommend a uC with build in CA support or use a separate Can
driver ?
Suppose those drivers exist ?
