Magic CAN Node is a multifunctional, Controller Area Network (CAN)-enabled sensor interface module. It has the ability to connect, measure, and transmit data from a wide variety of sensors.
It's based on the Texas Instruments C2000 Piccolo, a 32-bit microcontroller with useful features.
Some important features of the Magic CAN Node include:
- 15 analog inputs
- Two onboard pushbuttons and two general-purpose LEDs
- Access to SPI, I2C, and serial interfaces, as well as power and ADC pins, through standard "backpack" header
- Power loss detection; small backup capacitor to execute critical code when power is lost
- CAN interface, including automatic CAN termination
- Powered from +12V
