CAN-Bus Interface?

pheller

I recall awhile back that parallax offered a CAN-Bus Interface module for use with the Basic Stamp.... where'd it go?

I need to do some very simple stuff - Listen for a message generated by a momentary steering-wheel multifunction switch, then proxy that off to a bluetooth hands-free kit.

Kramer is working on a CAN bus interface...

Experience level:
[noparse][[/noparse] ] Let's connect the motor to pin 1, it's a 6V motor so it should be fine.
[noparse][[/noparse] ] OK, I got my resistors hooked up with the LEDs.
[noparse][[/noparse]X] I got the Motor hooked up with the H-bridge and the 555 is supplying the PWM.

Phil/Bamse:

The CAN bus interface that was carried by Parallax is still offered by Machine Bus, Inc. -- http://www.machinebus.com It is the MCI-100 that you are looking for. There are instructions and sample programs for use with the BASIC Stamp and Javelin Stamp.

Unfortunately, the CAN bus interface wasn't a popular enough item for Parallax to continue stocking. Interest in CAN seems to be picking up lately, though. Any questions, feel free to contact me, or just reply to this forum thread.
